The FCC has approved the MetroPCS/T-Mobile USA merger. The announcement isn't surprising, given the agency wants to see AT&T and Verizon face tougher competition.

Wow, so this analyst is saying the T-mobile deal is worth about what PCS is trading at this week, about $10.50. If his is right then all the other analysts quoted above are wrong. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-11-30/metropcs-climbs-after-analyst-says-sprint-may-bid-for-company.html?cmpid=yhoo

Re: #457: @bowonwing - The question is who would make a counter

Point taken.. It could be a foreign investor may make a counter offer to take a majority stake, similar to the Sprint deal. VOD, or domestic private equity could also get the job done. I think we may be running out of time. T-Mobile is pretty close to locked in. The terms are the deal are still fuzzy for an arb play. I just have the Nov. 12.00 call which look cooked. Most my focus is on Nokia (bullish) but theres got to be a quick 20% in this one before all is done.

PCS <$11. Institutional investors with the most shares of PCS will toll the bell on the yea or nay re: T-Mobile deal. "Mr. Market" does not like the deal, so who knows how this will play out?

IMO PCS just did not have the spectrum to really deploy G4-LTE. Just my hunch, based on the fact that right after the T-Mobile deal was announced Linquist scraped VoLTE, which was suppose to free up spectrum for PCS. Obviously VoLTE was not working out as planned for PCS.

In my mind Linquist had to make a deal with somebody because PCS just did not have enough spectrum. I have no evidence for this, just my humble opinion, for what its worth.

MetroPCS Communications, Inc. (PCS)- T-Mobile

On October 3, 2012 Deutsche Telekom- DT (DTEGY), announced that T-Mobile will be merged with PCS. The transaction is structured as a recapitalization in which PCS will declare a 1 for 2 reverse stock split, a cash payment of $1.5B to PCS shareholders (about $4.09 per share) and acquire all of T-Mobile's capital stock by issuing to DT 74% of PCS' common stock on a pro forma basis. This gives PCS shareholders a 26% stake and about $4.09 a share in cash.

The deal is expected to close in the middle of next year, 2013.

James Moorman at S&P lowered his 12 month target price of PCS to $12 from $13 on 11/2/12 and still has a "Hold" rating on PCS. He says the deal values PCS between $11.50 to $13.50 a share. He also said he thinks Sprint will not offer a competing bid for PCS.

On November 30, 2012, Shing Yin, an analyst at Guggenheim stated that Sprint could make a new offer for PCS between $12 to $13, which he calculates would equal about a 45% stock offer from T-Mobile instead of the current 26% per the current T-Mobile/ PCS deal. Thus, Yin believes PCS is worth about what it is trading at on 11/30/12, about $10.65 a share in the current T-Mobile/ PCS deal. SEE post #466.

Joel West wrote on October 3, 2012 in his Seeking Alpha article: "I would presume that DT hopes that it will be able to gradually unload its 74% holding in the combined company through open market sales."

It is expected that once the transaction is completed the ticker symbol for PCS will change "since T-Mobile USA will retain its name, technology, HQ and CEO - while MetroPCS will lose all four." (West)
