LWIN at 2 million subs within the next couple of years and a modest valuation of $1750 per sub would be worth $3.5 billion. Of course LWIN needs to achieve that level but I cannot think of any insurmountable hurdle given their close relationship with QCOM.

Maybe LWIN can get to this kind of valuation, but they are not yet a household name like Sprint, so it will also take time.

In addition to time, I'd add a few billion "cap ex" dollars to the "it's going to take" pot.
