Cricket Wireless has signed a lease agreement with the Chicago Transit Authority to provide wireless services to transit users. The lease, which costs $22,500 per month and was put in place for 10 years, will give Cricket's Chicago customers the ability to use their wireless phones while using the Chicago subway.
