Sprint - Nextel 2006 Annual Report Download - page 5

kIWO Holdings, Inc., which, at the time of acquisition, provided wireless service to more than 240,000
direct subscribers in five Northeast region states;
kEnterprise Communications Partnership, which, at the time of acquisition, provided wireless service to
more than 50,000 direct subscribers in Alabama and Georgia;
kAlamosa Holdings, Inc., which, at the time of acquisition, provided wireless service to more than
1.5 million direct subscribers in 19 states; and
kUbiquiTel Inc., which, at the time of acquisition, provided wireless service to more than 450,000
direct subscribers in nine states.
Also, in 2006 we acquired:
kNextel Partners, Inc., which at the time of acquisition, provided Nextel-branded wireless service to
more than 2.0 million subscribers in certain mid-sized and tertiary U.S. markets; and
kVelocita Wireless Holding Corporation, which owns and operates a nationwide digital packet-switched
wireless data network and holds licenses to use wireless spectrum in the 900 megahertz, or MHz,
band.
The acquisitions of the PCS Affiliates and Nextel Partners gave us more control of the distribution of services
under our Sprint and Nextel brands, and provide us with the strategic and financial benefits associated with a
larger customer base and expanded network coverage. We believe that the acquisitions also will facilitate the
integration relating to the Sprint-Nextel merger by allowing us to provide consistent service offerings and
customer experiences across a wider geographic area. We acquired Velocita Wireless primarily to increase our
holdings of licenses in the 900 MHz spectrum band.
