WAI - Three-way deal --

They're done in sports, so why not business?

Howabout:

Verizon --- Gives its landline business to BLS / Gets Vodafone's equity in VZw.

BLS --- Gives Vodafone its interest in Cingular / Gets VZ landline business

VOD --- Gives Verizon its shares in VZw / Gets BLS's interest in Cingular

THAT WAY, VERIZON GETS OUT OF THE DYING LANDLINE BUSINESS, AND BECOMES A FOCUSED WIRELESS TIGER. VODAFONE GETS OUT OF THE "NICHEY CDMA TECHNOLOGY", AND GETS A SHARE OF A REAL GLOBAL COLLOSSUS, CINGULAR. BLS WHICH IS RUMORED TO BE TALKING TURKEY WITH AT&T, CAN FREE ITSELF FROM CONFLICTS (OWNING SHARES IN BOTH CINGULAR AND AWE) IN A POST BLS + AT&T WORLD (THEN CAN BUYOUT REMAINDER OF AWE, ONCE THAT STOCK FINISHES TANKING OVER THE NEXT 9 - 12 MOS).

BTW, WAI is short for "wild ass idea"
