"In separate but related Clearwire bad news, a Sprint Nextel affiliate, iPCS Inc., says three of its subsidiaries have filed documents in an Illinois court to block the Sprint/Clearwire deal, alleging the service would compete with iPCS within its markets and that it violates an exclusivity agreement Sprint signed in 1999."
