Sprint Nextel Wants to stay in iPCS

[Mod]

Sprint Nextel has plans to seek a stay in a court decision that orders the carrier to divest its iDEN operations in territories where CDMA affiliate iPCS operates.

In response to the order, Sprint Nextel said it will continue operating its iDEN network nationwide, including in iPCS’ coverage areas, for the foreseeable future. The carrier said it will seek a stay of the judgment and appeal the court’s decision.

Last month, the court ruled that Sprint’s acquisition of Nextel violated Sprint’s affiliate agreement with iPCS. The court ordered Sprint Nextel to produce plans to divest its iDEN operations in iPCS’ territories.
