Schoenfeld (collectively, the PSAM Group) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) a definitive proxy statement (the Definitive Proxy Statement) relating to the solicitation of proxies by the PSAM Group from stockholders of MetroPCS Communications, Inc. (MetroPCS) in connection with the special meeting of stockholders to be held on April 12, 2013 to vote upon matters relating to the proposed combination of MetroPCS with T-Mobile USA, Inc. STOCKHOLDERS OF METROPCS ARE URGED TO READ THE DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT AND OTHER DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC RELATING TO SUCH SOLICITATION CAREFULLY IN THEIR ENTIRETY BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION, INCLUDING INFORMATION RELATING TO THE PARTICIPANTS IN SUCH SOLICITATION. The Definitive Proxy Statement and form of WHITE proxy card will be furnished to some or all of the stockholders of MetroPCS and will, along with other relevant documents filed with the SEC, be available free of charge at the SECs website at http://www.sec.gov. In addition, the PSAM Group will provide copies of the Definitive Proxy Statement and accompanying WHITE proxy card without charge upon request.
On March 18, 2013, P. Schoenfeld Asset Management LP issued a press release announcing that it has issued a white paper in connection with the proposed transaction between MetroPCS Communications, Inc. and T-Mobile USA, Inc. A copy of the press release and the white paper are included below.
P. SCHOENFELD ASSET MANAGEMENT ISSUES
WHITE PAPER ON METROPCS/T-MOBILE TRANSACTION
NEW YORK, March 18, 2013/PRNewswire/ -
P. Schoenfeld Asset Management LP (PSAM) issued a white paper today that provides detailed analysis of the proposed MetroPCS Communications, Inc. (PCS) and T-Mobile USA, Inc. (T-Mobile) transaction (the Proposed T-Mobile Transaction), and outlines for all MetroPCS shareholders an overwhelming case for why it is in the best interests of PCS shareholders to vote against the Proposed T-Mobile Transaction. PSAMs white paper will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) later today.
Following are excerpts from the PSAM white paper. To read PSAMs white paper in its entirety and a more detailed description of the arguments below, please go to the following link: www.innisfreema.com/pcs.
PROPOSED T-MOBILE TRANSACTION DOES NOT PROVIDE FULL AND FAIR VALUE TO PCS SHAREHOLDERS
A Standalone PCS is a viable and attractive alternative to the Proposed T-Mobile Transaction
·
The standalone alternative yields superior value to PCS shareholders, even without a revised offer from Deutsche Telekom AG (DT) or another buyer surfacing. Standalone does not mean standstill.
·
Analysts agree that PCS is worth more as a standalone company than combined with T-Mobile.
Equity split does not reflect PCSs strong recent performance and does not provide the value PCS shareholders deserve
·
The proposed equity split, allocating 26% of the proposed combined PCS/T-Mobile post transaction (the Combined Company) to PCS shareholders, is patently unfair to PCS shareholders, does not reflect recent exceptionally strong performance by PCS, and is based on stale and overly conservative PCS projections, according to PCSs own proxy statement; and
·
Limited discussions occurred with third parties and potential acquirors over an extended period of time, and no coordinated process has occurred in the present M&A, financing and industry environment to assure PCS shareholders that the Proposed T-Mobile Transaction maximizes PCS shareholder value.
Deal unfairly favors Deutsche Telekom, creates serious conflicts of interest and violates good corporate governance
·
The transaction unfairly favors DT, offering unequal downside protection with their $15 billion creditor position, 74% of the equity of the Combined Company, and control of the Combined Companys Board and management representing, as a whole, serious conflicts of interest and violations of good corporate
governance; and
·
The transaction process conducted by PCS was not designed to obtain the highest value for all PCS shareholders and the terms of the Proposed T-Mobile transaction do not provide any control premium to PCS shareholders despite an unequivocal sale of control to DT.
$1.5 billion spectrum acquisition deduction charged to PCS is not appropriate
·
A $1.5 billion spectrum acquisition deduction charged to PCS is not appropriate or consistent for the contribution analysis, and no details have been provided by PCS regarding this significant capital expenditure.
THE DEAL IS IRRESPONSIBLY AND INEFFICIENTLY STRUCTURED
Proposed capital structure of the Combined Company transfers value from PCS shareholders to DT and places excess risk on PCS shareholders
·
The proposed capital structure is neither appropriate nor fair to PCS shareholders. It transfers value from PCS shareholders to DT and places excess ongoing risk on PCS shareholders;
·
There are multiple hidden transfers of significant value to DT, including above market interest rates on the $15 billion of intercompany debt to be issued by the Combined Company to DT (the DT Notes); and
·
A capital structure with no secured debt is not remotely optimal, is highly expensive and unfairly favors the Combined Companys largest creditor, DT.
Combined Company will be over leveraged
·
Significantly enhanced operating flexibility would result from less leverage and a market-based capital structure; and
·
The DT notes have onerous call provisions and a substantial make-whole premium on the Combined Company and, as a result, limit future refinancing options.
Tremendous lack of transparency regarding the Proposed T-Mobile Transaction
·
Among many other issues detailed in our analysis, there has been no clarity regarding the suggested $1.5 billion PCS spectrum investment and its impact on the equity split, the source and rationale for the synergies valued at $6-$7 billion, the identity of 8 of the 11 directors of the Combined Company Board post-closing, and various other material items; and
·
This pervasive lack of transparency places PCS shareholders at a significant disadvantage in objectively evaluating the merits of the transaction.
THE ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED T-MOBILE TRANSACTION ARE MORE ATTRACTIVE AND OFFER BETTER DOWNSIDE PROTECTION
·
The value of PCSs spectrum portfolio and the alternative of operating as a mobile virtual network provide downside protection.
The market is clearly and strongly voting against the transaction and so should you
·
PCSs stock price is down more than 24% since the announcement of the proposed transaction on October 3, 2012, and is trading at a significant discount to the PCS standalone values presented by PCS and its own financial advisors. The market is clearly voting
AGAINST
the proposed T- Mobile transaction.
On March 12, 2013, P. Schoenfeld Asset Management LP, P. Schoenfeld Asset Management GP LLC and Peter M. Schoenfeld (collectively, the PSAM Group) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) a definitive proxy statement (the Definitive Proxy Statement) relating to the solicitation of proxies by the PSAM Group from stockholders of MetroPCS Communications, Inc.

Summary Executive Summary The standalone alternative yields superior value to

SHAREHOLDERS MUST CONSIDER The proposed equity split allocating 26% of the
proposed combined PCS/T-Mobile post transaction (the Combined Company) to

Companys own proxy p p q y p y pj , g p y p y statement The transaction

Executive
Summary (cont.) Executive Summary The deal is irresponsibly and inefficiently
structured (cont.) A pervasive lack of transparency places PCS shareholders
at a significant disadvantage in objectively evaluating the merits of the
transaction Among many other issues detailed in our analysis, there has been
no clarity regarding a suggested $1.5 billion PCS spectrum split 6 0 $7 0
billion the investment by PCS and its impact on the equity split, the source
and rational for the synergies valued at $6.0 - 7.0 billion, identity of the
directors of the Combined Company Board post-closing and various other
material items Additionally, there are numerous other facts that raise
concerns regarding significant conflicts of interest that we address in
detail There are compelling and actionable attractive options for PCS to
consider other than the proposed T-Mobile deal including continuing on as a
viable deal, standalone company PCSs stock price is down over 24% since the
announcement of the proposed transaction and is trading at a significant
discount to the PCS standalone values presented by PCS and their own
financial advisors the market is clearly voting AGAINST the proposed
TMobile transaction PCSs spectrum portfolio and mobile virtual network
operator (MVNO) alternative provides important downside protection PCS
shareholders should vote AGAINST the proposed T-Mobile transaction to ensure
PCS has the option of pursuing other actionable alternatives, including (i) a
fulsome and current review of strategic and financial buyer interest, (ii) a
renegotiation of terms with DT and/or (iii) the compelling standalone option

1.1 Interest
Expense on DT Notes is Significantly Above Market Key Transaction Issues The
estimated average interest rate of 7.72% on the $15.0 billion of DT Notes is
significantly above market Interest rate on the DT Notes is based on yield of
comparable indices and securities plus additional spread (187.5 bps for
Permanent Notes and 100.0 bps for Reset Notes) and is further adjusted to
reflect OID of 200 bps (spread over tenor of notes) On March 8, 2013, PCS
issued $3.5 billion of unsecured notes (New PCS Notes) priced to yield
6.44%, on a blended basis Th i h DTN d id i il k d i These notes are pari
passu to the DT Notes and provide similar key terms and protections The New
PCS Notes are yielding 6.00% based on current trading levels Yield reflects
highly levered capital structure and pricing overhang from DT Notes Adjusting
the $15.0 billion of DT Notes to fair market value results in an implied debt
obligation of $16.8 billion Incremental $1 8 market transfer DT representing
$1 23 per 1.8 billion in value of DT Notes is a pure of value from PCS
shareholders to DT, 1.23 share on a pro forma basis Approximate 172 basis

1.2 Capital
Structure Should Include Secured Debt Key Transaction Issues Including
secured debt would maximize shareholder value and result in lower interest
expense and a lower make-whole premium Assuming 40% secured debt for the
Combined Company, interest expense would be reduced by $254 million per year
Based on $8.2 billion of secured debt with interest rate of 4.6% (compared to
7.7% for DT Notes) DTs own unique credit restrictions are the cause of this
higher cost on PCS shareholders Comparable Secured Debt (1) (Secured debt as
% of total debt) Proposed Adjustment for Combined Company (Secured debt as %

agreements prohibit it from issuing low-cost secured debt at subsidiaries

be penalized for DTs restrictions and perverse motivations. These costs
should be borne by DT, not PCS shareholders 9

1.4 Make-Whole
Premium is Significant and Burdensome Key Transaction Issues Outsized refinancing
premium destroys Combined Companys ability to significantly lower its cost
of capital and dilutes its attractiveness to potential strategic buyers
Refinancing of DT Notes prior to the expiration of the call period will cost
Combined Company $4.6 billion, which is more than the entire equity float of
the Combined Company and 52% of the total equity value* p g y This
effectively shuts the company out of the financing market for the foreseeable
future Allows DT to misappropriate future strategic value to itself

expensive secured debt and (ii) market interest rate on DT Notes, has
significant benefits Reduction of interest expense of approximately $370

2010, PCS has outperformed T-Mobile in several key financial metrics: Service
Revenue EBITDA EBITDA Margin EBITDA - Capex ARPU Subscriber Value (1) (CAGR
2010 - 2012) (CAGR 2010 - 2012) (2012) (CAGR 2010 - 2012) (CAGR 2010 - 2012)

T-Mobile 24.8% T-Mobile (13.6%) T-Mobile (3.2%) T-Mobile Post Paid 131.0%
T-Mobile 4G 88.0% PCS shareholders have been offered 26% of the Combined
Company and DT has significant control of the Board and management (even when
its ownership falls below 50%). DT will be by far the largest creditor of the
Combined Company. The proposed transaction clearly represents a change in
control and PCS shareholders should receive an appropriate control premium
Average 1-day change in control 33% (2) 1 prior premiums in 2012 were The
observed forward multiples selected by Evercore, PCSs financial advisor,
indicate such premiums relative to trading comparables Precedent Transaction:

Comparables: Observed Mean 5.1x, Median 5.2x; Selected Range of 4.75x to
5.75x g p , ; g T-Mobile is not contributing trademarks, an important and
valuable asset of the Combined Company As part of the transaction, DT will
extract additional value by charging the Combined Company royalty fees of
0.25% of pro forma revenue Applying a multiple of 6.0x to PCS and 5.0x to
T-Mobile ( based on 2012A EBITDA contribution) would increase the pp y g p )
equity split from 45% to 53% for PCS shareholders 21 (1) Additional detail
and calculation can be found on page 39 in Appendix (2) Per Thomson Reuters,
as of December 31, 2012. Premiums are relative to target share prices one day
prior to announcement for deals with U.S. targets valued over $100 million

5. Absence of
Control Premium to PCS Shareholders Despite Clear Change of Control Key
Transaction Issues PCS SHAREHOLDERS ARE NOT RECEIVING ANY CONTROL PREMIUM
DESPITE DT OBTAINING ABSOLUTE CONTROL the proposed combination is not a
merger of equals, but an unequivocal sale of control to DT (despite the form
of consideration being stock) PCS has artfully mischaracterized the
transaction as a business combination and not a sale of control of PCS to
DT the l l f l f PCS h b l d id h f h PCS h h ld i i h i l clear sale of
control of has been concealed to avoid the fact that shareholders are not
receiving a change in control premium for their PCS shares The evidence of a
sale of control to DT is clear DT will be appointing 8 of 11 directors to the
Board of the Combined Company E if DT d i hi i i b l 50%* i ill h i h (i ) l

rights i.e., veto) over nearly all important decisions made by the Combined
Company, including Any change in the Chief Executive Officer Any change in
the size of the Board Any acquisition or sale over $1 0 billion 1.0 Any share
repurchase Any special dividend The transaction is a self-evident change in
control under PCSs bond indentures and in the eyes of the FCC While DT will
be extracting significant value from the Combined Company that DT will
control, PCS shareholders not receiving 22 are any change in control premium
for their PCS shares *But not less than 30%

6. Flawed
Process Not Designed to Maximize PCS Shareholder Value Key Transaction Issues
Despite DT clearly seeking to obtain control of PCS since February 2012, PCS
did not initiate a recent and coordinated process designed to obtain the
highest value for all PCS shareholders Ad hoc discussions with parties over
several years is not sufficient to maximize shareholder value industry,
M&A and financing environments have improved materially during that
extended period of time Despite the background to the transaction disclosure
in PCSs proxy statement attempting to justify the proposed transaction, the
disclosure highlights a record of missed opportunities and negotiations that
transferred negotiating leverage to DT, maximized value for DT and failed to
maximize shareholder value for PCS shareholders PCS disclosed that it has had
strategic discussions with 8 parties in addition to DT since 2009
Discussions with five of the parties were regarding acquisitions, not a sale
of the company Discussions with only two parties, Company C and Company G,
were specifically characterized by PCS as a sale of PCS Any party interested
in acquiring PCS is practically prevented under the PCS/T-Mobile Business
Combination Agreement from doing so given the (i) significant non-solicit
restrictions on PCS, (ii) the absence of a go-shop, (iii) the specter of a
$150 million break-up fee, (iv) DTs rights under the Business Combination
Agreement to match any offer made by any other party and (v) the requirement
that PCS must hold a shareholder meeting to vote on the proposed T-Mobile
transaction regardless of any change in circumstances (i.e., a force the
vote requirement) The flawed process lead to less than favorable deal terms
for PCS shareholders see page 24 reflecting the deterioration of deal terms
that benefited DT, not PCS shareholders PCS shareholders should vote AGAINST
the proposed T-Mobile transaction to ensure the option of pursuing other
actionable alternatives, including (i) a fulsome and current review of
strategic and financial 23 buyer interest, (ii) a renegotiation of terms with
DT and/or (iii) the compelling standalone option

7. Conflicts,
Lack of Transparency and Additional Concerns Key Transaction Issues Based on
the information PCS and DT have provided PCS shareholders there is
significant evidence of At the same time as advocating the purported
potential value of the Combined Companys shares to PCS shareholders, DT is
extracting value to itself through every means possible other than as a
shareholder of the Combined Company shareholders, conflicts of interest, lack
of transparency and additional concern that PCS shareholders need to strongly
consider Excessive debt fees, T-Mobile trademark royalties and other payments
to Deutsche Telekom/T-Mobile total fees and other payments are in excess of
$350 million These fees and payments are off-market and patently unfair to
PCS shareholders If DT is so confident about the share value of the Combined
Company, why does it not want to align itself with the best interests of
minority PCS shareholders in the Combined Company? Why does DT want to take
value away from PCS shareholders through intercompany debt and opaque
structures rather than align itself with minority PCS shareholders in the
Combined Company? PCS Chairman Roger Linquist recently sold approximately $20
million in PCS shares (representing approximately 28% of his share position
in PCS) despite recently signing letters to PCS shareholders that purported
an expected post-transaction PCS h l th t i 65 85% hi h th th i t hi h hi t l
d share value that is 65-higher than the prices at which his recent sales
occurred If PCSs Chairman is so confident the Combined Company will achieve
these projected, pro forma share values in the near future, why is he selling
and not buying PCS shares? why did he repeatedly turn down the offer of being
non executive Chairman of the Combined Companys Board? non-Company s PCSs
claims to PCS shareholders that these are sales through a 10b5-1 plan is an
insufficient explanation to PCS shareholders while this may be the legal
mechanism to sell shares in the market, allowing these sales to continue
demonstrates a material lack of confidence in the proposed transaction
especially given that those sales only substantially began in December, 2012
25 Both DT, through the structuring of the proposed T-Mobile transaction, and
PCSs Chairman, through his significant sale of PCS shares, are showing a
demonstrated lack of confidence in the purported benefits of the proposed
T-Mobile transaction

7. Conflicts,
Lack of Transparency and Additional Concerns (cont.) Key Transaction Issues
PCS attempted to use a stale record date for the PCS shareholder meeting to
vote on the proposed T-Mobile transaction and have vigorously fought to avoid
to include year-end financials for PCS, depriving shareholders of vital
information to consider the transaction Page 46 of PCSs proxy statement
reads of a substantial company Telekom may interests DT is taking a $2.4
billion distribution from T-Mobile prior to the transaction, financed by a
sale-leaseback of T-Mobiles towers This was not properly disclosed in the
initial PCS proxy statement and purported benefits were improperly attributed
to a As a holder amount of equity and debt of the combined company, Deutsche
have different than other holders of MetroPCS common stock and may make
decisions adverse to your interests T-Mobile 2013 EBITDA adjustment DT
benefits from a reverse merger into PCS public stock enhancing T-Mobile and
DTs strategic options for liquidity while PCS liquidity (as measured by
the public float) will substantially decline DT has negotiated additional
rights that solely benefit DT to the detriment of PCS shareholders In the
event of an extraordinary transaction, DT is contractually not required to
share any change in control premium with other shareholders if it sells
shares comprising up to 30% of the Combined Companys common stock to a third
party This overhang will impact the valuation of the Combined Companys
shares to the detriment of PCS shareholders, not DT DT ill b b thth C bi dC p
l t h h ld d dit will be both the Combined Companys largest shareholder and
creditor This represents a significant conflict of interest who will DT be
representing? If the Combined Companys projections are not met, given the
significant level of intercompany debt owed to DT, will DT protect its debt
position rather than protect the interest of shareholders? It is only to the
benefit of DT and to the detriment of PCS shareholders that T-Mobiles
trademarks are only licensed to the y y Combined Company, and DT can
unilaterally terminate the license if it sells its position in the Combined
Company below 50% if DT and the Combined Company cannot agree to revised
terms Why is PCSs Board facilitating a liquidity event for DT DT will
extract extraordinary value through the intercompany debt with the Combined
Company from which PCS shareholders will not benefit 26

7. Conflicts,
Lack of Transparency and Additional Concerns (cont.) Key Transaction Issues
DT has structured the transaction to ensure that the Combined Company is
unable to refinance the $15 billion of off-market intercompany debt owed to
DT note the following from page 48 of PCSs proxy statement The $15.0
billion notes to be purchased by Deutsche Telekommay only be redeemed, prior
to certain specified dates for each series, if the combined T-Mobile whole
premium at the time of redemption. Such premium The inherent conflicts of
interest demand an ongoing majority of independent directors to protect the
interests of PCS shareholders in the Combined Company company or T pays a
customary make whole make whole may be significant, and may make it
financially prohibitive for the combined company to refinance such series
prior to such dates to take advantage of lower interest rates which may
become available for the combined companys debt or in connection with
pursuing other business opportunities The Combined Companys management
largely will be controlled by former T-Mobile executives and DT has a veto
over the CEO position even if it owns less than 50% of the Combined Companys
outstanding shares PCS / T-Mobiles board of 11 will be comprised primarily
of DT representatives DT appoints 8 directors PCS Shareholders will be
informed of their identities post-closing minority PCS appoints 2 independent
directors 1 director from management (which DT will control DT will have a
consent right over the CEO position so long as it owns 30% or more of the
Combined Companys shares) This lack of critical and customary information
not allow shareholders to make a fully-informed decision does fully As
explained in detail on page 22, DT will have voting rights over most material
decisions of the Combined Company, even if they own less than 50% (but 30% or
more) of the outstanding shares of the Combined Company While the proposed
governance changes are being used to optically enhance the Combined Companys
corporate governance profile, these changes are illusory given DTs
significant governance rights that PCS shareholders will not have 27 PCS
shareholders will not only be minority shareholders in the Combined Company,
but unrepresented shareholders

7. Conflicts,
Lack of Transparency and Additional Concerns (cont.) Key Transaction Issues
Why has PCS not provided any clarity regarding the $1.5 billion PCS spectrum
investment despite the significant impact this investment had on PCSs
financial advisors valuation of PCS? Why has PCS not provided PCS
shareholders with clarity on the interest rate on the proposed $15 0 billion
intercompany debt Important Questions Remain 15.0 to be issued to DT? PCS
shareholders have been provided no details on the identity of the directors
who will ultimately be responsible for the Combined Company and all its
shareholders who will be protecting PCS shareholders interests in the
Combined Company? Given the significant purported synergies of $6.0 billion
to $7.0 billion in the proposed transaction (especially given the significant
impact on valuation that PCS has purported), no information is provided to
PCS shareholders as to the details of these synergies and why they are
primarily realized only many years in the future What is the plan regarding
the approximately $3.5 billion in receivables financing this is a material
factor that shareholders need to understand PCS is misrepresenting there is
no distribution fee page 127 of PCSs own proxy statement states that a 2%
distribution fee PCS s ($300 million) is incorporated into the interest rate
PCS shareholders are being forced to vote on a proposed transaction without
the benefit of material information have that only the PCS Board and DT
access to HOW CAN PCS SHAREHOLDERS EVEN MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION? 28

Our Analysis is
Supported by the Analyst Community Key Transaction Issues It is only
rational to vote against the deal: We arrive at an expected value of $12 if
shareholders block the deal vs. $8-9 if they approve. We believe that it is
highly likely that TMOUS would increase their offer and likely that Sprint
will bid if PCS is still independent when the Softbank and CLWR deals close.
New Street, 3/7/2013 With plenty of integration risk and potential cash burn
for the next two years, we continue to look for a more compelling risk/reward
before recommending the shares for purchase. Canaccord, 2/26/2013 We
maintain a cautious view of the combined MetroPCS/T-Mobile USA entity as a
result of 1) our view that the combined p ill p t th t h ll d p t i i t f ii
ptiti i t it li itd t company will represent the most challenged-operator in
an environment of rising competitive intensity, 2) limited near-term
merger-related financial benefits, 3) our view that a counter-bid for PCS is
unlikely at this stage, and 4) a premium relative valuation. Bank of America
Merrill Lynch, 2/27/2013 Our PCS valuation is tied to our NewCo outlook
which supports minimal, if any, EBITDA growth over the next 3-5 years.
Deutsche Bank, 2/2/2013 29 Analyst community substantially agrees with the
PSAM position that the standalone PCS case is superior to the proposed
T-Mobile transaction

Management's
Forecast in Proxy Appears Conservative and Out of Date Standalone Alternative
Given 2012 actual results, PCS projections should have been updated to
reflect the change in performance and strategy 2012 EBITDA and Managements
Commentary Historical and Projected EBITDA ($mm) $1,530 $1,556 PCSs 2012A
EBITDA exceeded 2012E forecast in the proxy by 15%, or ~$200 million During a
BAML Leveraged Finance Conference in December 2012, PCSs VP of Finance,
Keith Terreri, cited: Given positive 2012 actual results, 2013 and 2014
EBITDA forecasts should be updated accordingly $1,332 $1,331 $1,359 [The
projections] were prepared back in Q2 and really don't reflect the change in
strategy for Q2 and Q3 whereby we were focusing on profitability and cash
flow. And they obviously were prepared quite a while ago, so we haven't given
any guidance or plan to give any guidance 2011A 2012E 2012A 2013E 2014E

revenue per user (ARPU) for LTE to be at least $50 We believe our
assumptions are conservative and further confirm the viability of a

Spectrum
Portfolio and MVNO Alternative Provides Important Downside Protection

$3.7 billion The value of spectrum has only increased over the past 15 years
The purchase prices are reported by FCC and are fact-based Th l f h i l li CS
i l l h h hi i l The value of the wireless spectrum licenses at PCS is
clearly more than the historical cost If PCS cannot buy more wireless
spectrum due to a shortage, then it is only logical to believe that the value
of PCSs existing licenses would be far higher than its historical cost The
gross value of spectrum and cash at PCS is likely $17.00 per share Including
the value of the subscribers and net of the debt, PCS could be easily sold in
pieces for a price that would generate more than $13.00 per share In
addition, the transition to LTE will make PCS subscribers more valuable to
all wireless carriers Even a Harvest Scenario Yields Greater Value than
