Sprint's spectrum assets provide a compelling backstop to value

February 4, 2008

Is Sprint Nextel Worth Saving? | blogs.wsj.com

The book value of Sprint's spectrum assets is likely understated, given the robust results in the 700 MHz auction and the emerging value of Sprint's vast 2.5 GHz holdings.

700 MHz Auction Will be Different - Sort Of

FCC Auction Rules Could Redraw Map Of Wireless Sector | online.wsj.com

The large wireless incumbants (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile) will participate heavily in the auction.  AT&T and Verizon will likely spend the most, given their deep pockets and affinity for low-frequency spectrum. If Frontline (or some similar entity) acquires the 10 MHz public safety band, it is unlikely to see meaningful use. Google may well participate in the auction, even though it didn't get the full suite of open access rules it wanted.
