Affiliates Fail To Make Case Against Sprint

Aug 5, 2006, 5:42 PM by (staff)

A Maryland judge has ruled that Sprint affiliates Horizon and Bright have no claim against the carrier. The affiliates had alleged that Sprint had violated exclusivity clauses with them by attempting to sell iDEN service under the Sprint brand in their territories as well violated certain confidentiality clauses. Sprint is now free to re-brand Nextel stores with the Sprint logo as well as sell iDEN handsets in Radio Shack stores under the Sprint brand. An injunction was preventing Sprint from doing so while this case was being decided. Instead of fighting to retain exclusivity in sales regions, most other Sprint affiliates have allowed themselves to be acquired by the carrier after the merger with Nextel.
