According to the ever-familiar "people familiar" with the story, as quoted by Businessweek, LightSquared is getting closer to a long-rumored 15-year deal that would pay Sprint $20 billion in exchange for piggy-backing on its aggressive network expansion. This would help LightSquared get up to speed much more quickly, get Sprint access to some lovely LTE, and together completely revitalize the paper maps industry.LightSquared and Sprint reportedly close to $20 billion LTE agreement, John Deere watching closely originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 02 Jun 2011 23:48:00 EDT.
