Sprint Loses Suit To Affiliate IPCS

Aug 15, 2006, 7:54 PM by (staff)

A circuit court judge in Illinois today ruled that Sprint can not sell Nextel under the Sprint brand in areas served by IPCS, a Sprint affiliate. This decision means Sprint cannot re-brand Nextel stores in 80 markets across the midwest. Sprint has already informed the court it will appeal the decision. Recently a Maryland judge ruled in Sprint's favor in a similar case, allowing Sprint to sell iDEN service under its brand in markets still served by Horizon and Bright.
