What Investors Should Know about the Sprint-Cox Deal

What Investors Should Know about the Sprint-Cox Deal

For about six years, Sprint (S) waged courtroom battles with Cox Communications, but the companies recently settled their differences and subsequently entered a multiyear business deal. In 2011, Sprint sued several cable companies including Comcast (CMCSA), Cox, Cable One (CABO), and Time Warner Cable for allegedly infringing its patents related to digital voice transmission. Last year, Sprint sued Mediacom over the same patents.
