$15 Billion here we come
i dont think it will be $15 billion for nextel partners, al though that would be nice since i own nxtp shares but i think the buyout price will be around $31 per share or $8.3 billion dollars. $15 billion is far fetched in my opinion becuase that means the price per share would be around $55 which is about a 60 percent premium and that will never happen.
...
perhaps. so far it is around $10 billion. (if partners gets bought out for the $8 billion)
Alamosa(APCS) is next and then UPCS (Ubiquitel), or they can just make new contracts and agreements. it really depends what those two affiliates want.

Wait a minute....that article says that the merger cost Sprint $35 billion. But Nextel18 always says that it only cost Sprint 2 or 3 Billion (I don't remember exactly).
Now who do we believe???? Nextel18 or Business Week Magazine???? Hmmmm.... 😲 😳 🙄

it is a $35 billion dollar transaction if you include stock swapping but sprint only spent $2 or $3 billion in cash for special dividends to nextel shareholders. thus; being $2 or $3 billion. for example, the cingular for att wireless purchase was $41 billion IN CASH and no stock... there is a big difference between $2-3 billion in cash paid, $41 billion in cash paid, and $35 billion in stock paid, becuase the $2-3 and $41 billion comes out of the bank, while the $35 billion doesnt becuase it comes out of the stock price which increases your outstanding shares.

And you don't think Cingular either has, or is planning to, release more shares of their own stock to compensate for the shares of AT&T wireless that they purchased. 🙄

problem is... they dont have shares.. bell south and sbc do, however, they already borrowed that money from the banks in order to pay for this purchase. that is why i said that there is a differnce between spending $41 billion JUST IN CASH and $35 billion in 99 percent stock and 1 percent cash. (ie $33 billion in stock and $2-3 billion in cash)
i also wanted to make a note that the $35 billion dollar purchase actually goes up or down based on what the stock price does (of sprint's), however, with a cash purchase like cingular did with ATT wireless, that purchase price stays the same becuase its a cash purchase. meaning if sprint's (fon) goes up the purchase will be more, however, the $2-3 billion will stay the same, but if sprint's stoc...

I completely understand. I still find it hard to believe that it was such a horrible purchase, as you have so kindly stated many times, if SBC and BellSouth didn't have a very easy way to re-coup the funds already planned out.
Financially, it is not near as bad as you make it out to be. It just can't be. That was my point.

i am glad that you understand...
the point of why i dont think that it was a good idea for cingular to buy out att wireless for $41 billion dollars is becuase this market is becoming saturated and i dont think it is wise to spend such a lot of money to expand when they could have done it organically. i mean those two companies were on opposite sides of the spectrum. meaning one was a good company in cingular and one was a horrible company in att wireless.
perhaps its not as bad as i make it out to be but i am just using common sense here.
if i had to spend $41 billion dollars it wouldnt be on buying another company. i would take those resources and build twice the amount of towers or maybe 3 times the amount of towers in that yea...
