Pegaso Lines Up Credit For Mexican CDMA Buildout (Thanks to Phillips Telecom) Mexican PCS licensee Pegaso PCS has obtained a $100 million working capital facility for construction of its Mexican CDMA networks. The commitment comes from Qualcomm Inc. [QCOM], who we're pretty sure can afford it these days. Qualcomm spin-off Leap Wireless International Inc. [LWIN] is one of the owners of Pegaso, which launched service in Tijuana in February (see PCS WEEK, Feb. 17). Pegaso said its current commitments-$ 1.1 billion in debt, equity, and vendor financing-will give it all the capital it needs to build out its first phase networks covering Mexico's four largest markets: Tijuana, Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey.
