LightSquared and Sprint reportedly near to $20 billion LTE agreement, John Deere watching closely

Well, we already know that a definite tractor manufacturer isn’t particularly keen on LightSquared and its GPS-bustin’ LTE technology , but other companies with yellow logos apparently harbor a miles different sentiment. Really, though, who wouldn’t be smiling when there is a supposed $20 billion in it for you? Based on the ever-familiar “people familiar” with the tale, as quoted by Businessweek, LightSquared is getting in the direction of a long-rumored 15-year deal that could pay Sprint $20 billion in exchange for piggy-backing on its aggressive network expansion. This will help LightSquared rise up to hurry way more quickly, get Sprint access to a few lovely LTE, and together completely revitalize the paper maps industry.
