The San Franciso Cronicle reported today that Worldcom will sell their wireless unit. It has roughly 1.7 million subscribers nationwide and sells service through independent vendors. Worldcom doesn’t own their own cellular network, so it must pay rivals like Sprint PCS and Verizon Wireless to provide the service. No word on MMDS. Worldcom and Sprint both own about 30% of the MMDS (2.5GHz) licenses in the United States. The band was recently cleared for cellular telephony (where the money is) and Sprint is now testing out a 2nd generation Non line-of-sight service using “no truck roll” Navini CPEs.
