Reston, Va. -- Sprint Nextel, the Reston-based wireless giant, said on Monday
that the Illinois Court of Appeals has granted a stay in its ongoing litigation with
affiliate iPCS. The company said that it plans to continue operating its Nextel
network throughout iPCS's territories for the foreseeable future. The territories
include secondary markets in Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska and a portion of
Indiana. In August, the Cook County (Ill.) Circuit Court ruled that Sprint's merger
with Nextel violated Sprint's affiliate agreement with iPCS. Now, Sprint Nextel is
appealing that decision, and expects a verdict in seven to nine months.
