LightSquared, the wholesale operator run by a hedge fund who has yet to even turn on their 4G LTE network, has signed a 15 year deal with Sprint whereby “LightSquared and Sprint will jointly develop, deploy and operate LightSquared’s 4G LTE network” according to Harbinger Capital Partners, adding “Sprint will become a significant customer of…
