Sprint rumour without base

This story on PCS Intel seems baseless to me. It reads like a press release - beware. One can only wonder how stock market regulators respond to this.

Sprint Nextel would swap the iDEN network for WiMAX spectrum in the 700 MHz band.
Last time I checked:

• Would any deal be heavily contested by other (wireless) providers.
• Were the 2.5 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands reserved for WiMAX in North America.
