Sprint Nextel Wins Stay in Ongoing Dispute with Affiliate

Authored by dmw on October 16, 2006 - 1:37pm.
Reston, Va. - Sprint Nextel, the Reston-based wireless giant, said on Monday that the Illinois Court of Appeals has granted a stay in its ongoing litigation with affiliate iPCS. The company said that it plans to continue operating its Nextel network throughout iPCS's territories for the foreseeable future. The territories include secondary markets in Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska and a portion of Indiana. In August, the Cook County (Ill.) Circuit Court ruled that Sprint's merger with Nextel violated Sprint's affiliate agreement with iPCS. Now, Sprint Nextel is appealing that decision, and expects a verdict in seven to nine months.
