Dobson Communications: Att Wireless
built 623 days ago
Dobson Communications' active role in the consolidation of the wireless industry continued after the American Cellular deal was concluded. In January 2004, the company signed an agreement to acquire the assets of NPI-Omnipoint Wireless LLC, a wireless provider with licenses covering northern Michigan. The $28 million deal gave Dobson Communications licenses and a network capable of serving one million subscribers. In 2002, NPI's 38,000 subscribers enabled the company to generate $20 million in revenue.

Formed in the 1920's, Dobson Communications originally operated a small wireline telephone network in Oklahoma. In 70 years, Dobson had evolved to become the nation's largest independent rural wireless provider. Dobson's operations in 60 markets were acquired through several purchases within the last 10 years.

Oklahoma-based rural wireless operator Dobson Communications is considering a possible sale. The firm, which has a market capitalisation of around USD1.8 billion and debts of USD2.67 billion, serves almost 1.7 million subscribers across 17 states. It offers services under the Cellular One brand, predominantly in rural areas. Dobson has hired Morgan Stanley to advise on its options.

"Removing the Dobson revenues and EBITDAS from our carrier services will reduce our previous estimates for that business," Duncan continued. "Going forward we expect carrier revenue and EBITDAS, exclusive of bulk capacity sales as announced today, to remain approximately constant at an amount equal to the 2007 levels reduced by the shifted Dobson amounts. GCI has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the remaining minority interest in Alaska Digitel for a total consideration of approximately $10 million. Following FCC approval of the change in control, GCI will own 100% of Alaska Digitel. Alaska Digitel will construct and operate the CDMA portion of GCI's statewide wireless platform."

AT&T must have been anticipating the Apple iPhone to be a huge success, because, on Friday, it agreed to buy-out Dobson Communications for a cool $2.8 Billion. The rural wireless carrier does business under the name Cellular One and has had a working relationship with AT&T since 1990. This new deal represents a $13 per share buyout - worth $5.1 Billion when you factor in debt.
