A BUY OUT BY A MAJOR COMMUICATIONS COMPANY IS ON THE WAY....

Right out of the pinksheet playbook. What's next - divvies? Share buybacks? Uplisting?

Instead, what usually happens is dilution, dilution, dilution. Have fun with that.

How much revenue did UMS Mobile bring in for 2014? over $17,139,231? Whats the marketcap here again? $4,339,203? Whats the 3 year growth rate? 241%?

Mate the market cap should be 10x this at the minimum!

Could Sprint End Up Buying T-Mobile and CPD Mobile? They could easily purchase T Mobile's Master Dealer, CPD Mobile with there recent interest in buying out T Mobiles Business, Whole Operations and Network.

CPD Mobile, a dedicated wireless equipment distributor and service provider, today announced that it has been named a Master Dealer for T-Mobile’s new wireless product, Univision Mobile.

Takeover talks between U.S. wireless carriers Sprint and T-Mobile that were tabled in August 2014 may make a comeback as Sprint increases momentum in 2016 and beyond, investment research firm FBR & Co. said in a new report.

According to FBR, a “resurgent” Sprint buoyed by increased capacity from the deployment of its 2.5 GHz spectrum could make a viable candidate for another T-Mobile takeover attempt.

Though FBR said T-Mobile has demonstrated solid earnings and subscriber growth and reduced churn as a result of its network overhaul, researchers said they see “limited organic growth opportunities” for the Un-carrier going forward. T-Mobile’s main problem, FBR said, will be a network capacity crunch due to its relatively small amount of low-band spectrum holdings.

FBR said it expects T-Mobile to be an “active participant” in the FCC’s upcoming auction, but said capacity challenges could hinder its momentum.

Conversely, FBR said Sprint is on the upswing and will gain momentum from the sustainable addition of capacity at a low cost. Thus, a vulnerable T-Mobile would be a perfect grab for a more powerful Sprint, FBR said.

The catch? FBR said a potential bid from Sprint will hinge on new leadership at the FCC.

DEEPER INSIGHTS

November eReport on All Things Related to The Cloud
“If our view proves to be correct, we believe a stronger Sprint could make a successful attempt to acquire a potentially weakened T-Mobile under a new Federal Communications Commission administration,” FBR wrote in the report. “With the expected sustainable improvement in the competitive positioning of Sprint (a contrarian view), we think T-Mobile’s ability to maintain momentum may prove challenging but see potential for mergers and acquisitions in 2017.”

Hurdles and possibilities

While FBR’s forecast doesn’t necessarily reflect popular opinion, it’s not entirely far-fetched, either, given the history between the two carriers and the upcoming presidential election.

Two years ago, Sprint did make a play to acquire T-Mobile – agreeing to pay $40 per share to gain controlling stake in the company and a $2 billion breakup fee if the deal collapsed – before things went sour and the deal was tabled. At issue were concerns the merger wouldn’t pass muster before skeptical U.S. regulators, reports from Reuters indicated.

But according to Recon Analytics’ Roger Entner, that difficulty could be resolved depending on who wins the upcoming U.S. election in November. Though Entner said a Sprint/T-Mobile deal would “most likely not” move forward under a Clinton or Sanders administration, he said the merger “certainly could” under a Republican president.

Commissioners are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, which is currently controlled by Republicans. The President alone designates one of the commissioners as chairman.

Democrats currently hold a 3-2 majority among the FCC’s five commissioners. Two commissioners, Democrat Jessica Rosenworcel and Republican Ajit Pai, have terms that will expire next year. The term of FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, who has previously said the presence of four wireless carriers in the country is good for consumers and competition, will expire in 2018.

Should Republicans maintain control of the Senate and make it to the White House, then, there’s a possibility that a Republican-stacked commission could present an opportunity for a Sprint/T-Mobile deal to pass through.

Entner said T-Mobile presents an appealing target for Sprint and its parent company, SoftBank.

“SoftBank would want to buy T-Mobile because it’s a lot more successful than Sprint,” Entner said.

As stipulated in the 2014 deal, Entner said the combined company would likely look to consumers a lot more like T-Mobile than Sprint.

In 2014, the companies had reportedly agreed to take the T-Mobile name for the combined company. T-Mobile CEO John Legere was reportedly favored over then-Sprint CEO Dan Hesse to head the company after the merger. Sprint is currently headed by Marcelo Claure, who started at Sprint around the time the original deal was killed.

Spectrum galore

Regardless of who’s in charge, a merger between the two carriers has the potential to add even more spectrum to Sprint’s treasure trove.

Though Sprint is sitting out of the upcoming FCC spectrum auction, T-Mobile has made it clear it plans to spend big and snag the largest amount of spectrum it can.

T-Mobile CFO Braxton Carter has said the Un-carrier can likely achieve its coverage goals with just $1 billion to $1.5 billion in additional spectrum but has left the door open for the carrier to spend upward of $10 billion in the auction, if necessary. Already, T-Mobile has stocked up $2 billion from a November debt sale and another $2 billion through a bond deal with parent company Deutsche Telekom.

If T-Mobile bids as significantly as planned, a post-auction merger with Sprint would pile even more spectrum onto the latter’s already substantial holdings of more than 200 MHz of spectrum.

T-Mobile’s branding with Sprint’s spectrum could prove to be a powerful force in competition against the likes of Verizon and AT&T.

As of yet, though, neither Sprint nor T-Mobile have given any signal in the direction of the merger.

So we’ll just have to wait and see.

KNOW WHAT YOU OWE.

I agree. With the failure of TALK to file the UMS audited financials in the mandated 71 day extension window no one knows how many millions in debt UMS owes.

With the 895K lawsuit against UMS naming Lee as co defendant it is obvious to me why he has joined this con game.

There are serious ramifications for giving the feds the bird regarding federal law - TALK has blatantly broken multiple federal laws with well over a billion shares issued fraudulently in non compliance with Rule 144, and now the fact is the January 29 8-K is fraudulent by the refusal of TALK to file the mandated requirements for a merger/acquisition.

TALK is highly fraudulent. These issues are not to be taken lightly.
