CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa.-Sprint PCS said it will build out a number of markets in Montana, including Billings, Bozeman, Butte, Great Falls, Helena, Kalispell and Missoula, previously assigned to affiliate UbiquiTel Inc. during the next 12 to 18 months.
The agreement will reduce the total population in UbiquiTel’s service area to approximately 10 million potential customers, 78 percent of which UbiquiTel said it currently covers.
“We are extremely pleased with the collaboration between UbiquiTel and Sprint that made this change possible,” said Donald Harris, chairman and chief executive officer of UbiquiTel. “It’s a true reflection of the cooperation both parties exhibited to promote the achievement of our respective business goals.”
