Leap Seeking Buyer
US Cellular should snap em up!
This would expand US Cellulars coverage to major/semi major cities, saves them some roaming charges 🙂
Why would Metro PcS want them? I dont even know where they cover, but just seems pointless...
AT&T/Verizon/Sprint or Tmo should NOT bother, too much overlap im sure!

I seriously doubt AT&T or VZW would be allowed to grab Leap under a Democratic regime.

True but I dont want U.S. Cellular to either. Not in their best interest. The only logical choice is Metro

Hell yeah. What kind of a efin name is Cricket for a wireless carrier anyway? This ain't Europe lol

it would be nice for us cellular to get all these new areas but from a business standpoint, you are picking up a Large around of consumers that quite frankly us cellular cannot support.
Us cellular cannot match the cricket price plans, so everyone would be converted to a new plan that costs more which would make everyone run.
i see the beneficial side of gaining more coverage but dont see how the bottom line consumer growth would happen.

If US Cellular did acquire Cricket, Cricket users aren't in contract, and USCC could change the terms. Having extra spectrum for Chicago (a market where USCC only holds 20mhz in PCS), along with some additional markets. There is some overlap, but ...

It may be a good thing for U.S. Cellular in some regions but it could also create problems with isolated markets. One of Cricket's big problems is that they are a company of islands. This means that their customers often leave them because of a lack of service in adjacent markets.
it would make much more sense for Metro to buy them.

Cricket hold 2 regional AWS licenses (Great Lakes D Block & Central E block), and USCC holds the Regional AWS Mississippi Valley E block. USCC could do some serious expansion with those 3 licenses if they really wanted to. If Metro doesn't get them, USCC would be a better choice. Metro is still the best carrier to acquire Cricket since both carriers are no contract carriers, and have little overlap.
If the FCC & DOJ allowed Cricket to be acquired by the big 2, the only way it would be allowed is by having some PCS spectrum divested, since Cricket holds 2 AWS regional licenses (Great Lakes D & Central E). The other possibility would be to have the AWS regional licenses divested (possibly some smaller AWS licenses as well). I still h...
