Item 8.01 Other Events

     On July 15, 2005,  iPCS  Wireless,  Inc. (the "iPCS  Plaintiff"),  a wholly
owned  subsidiary of iPCS,  Inc.,  filed a complaint (the  "Complaint")  against
Sprint Corporation,  WirelessCo L.P., Sprint Spectrum L.P., SprintCom,  Inc. and
Sprint Communications Company L.P. (collectively, "Sprint") in the Circuit Court
of Cook County, Illinois.

     The Complaint alleges,  among other things, that following the consummation
of the anticipated merger between Sprint Corporation and Nextel  Communications,
Inc.  ("Nextel"),  Sprint  will  breach its  exclusivity  obligations  under the
Management Agreement, dated as of January 22, 1999, as amended, between the iPCS
Plaintiff and Sprint (the  "Management  Agreement").  The Complaint  seeks (1) a
temporary restraining order, a preliminary injunction and a permanent injunction
enjoining  Sprint and those acting in concert  with it from  engaging in certain
post-merger  conduct  in the  iPCS  Plaintiff's  service  areas,  including  the
operation of the Nextel network,  marketing,  sales and  promotional  activities
relating to Nextel products,  and disclosing  confidential business information,
in each case in a manner that would violate the  Management  Agreement and (2) a
declaratory  judgment that the  post-merger  operation of the Nextel network and
other  potential  post-merger  activity  by Sprint  will  breach the  Management
Agreement.  In addition,  the iPCS  Plaintiff  has filed motions for a temporary
restraining  order and a  preliminary  injunction.  The motion  for a  temporary
restraining order seeks to temporarily  restrain Sprint Corporation from closing
the merger with Nextel to the extent  that the merger  requires or  contemplates
activity in the iPCS  Plaintiff's  exclusive  service area that would breach the
Management Agreement. The motion for a preliminary injunction seeks the issuance
of a preliminary  injunction,  pending a trial on the merits, which would enjoin
Sprint from  engaging  in certain  post-merger  conduct in the iPCS  Plaintiff's
service areas, including the operation of the Nextel network,  marketing,  sales
and  promotional   activities  relating  to  Nextel  products,   and  disclosing
confidential business  information,  in each case in a manner that would violate
the Management Agreement.

     Prior to the filing of the  Complaint,  Sprint and the iPCS  Plaintiff  had
discussed  possible  revisions to their commercial  arrangements in light of the
pending Sprint Nextel merger.  Although Sprint has had and may from time to time
continue  to engage  in  discussions  with the iPCS  Plaintiff  regarding  these
matters, there is no assurance as to the outcome of any such discussions.
