AT&T's 11th-hour plan to save its deal with T-Mobile

http://j.mp/rtftCM  (New York Times)

    "But AT&T has been secretly working on an audacious 11th-hour deal
     to salvage the transaction: AT&T is knee-deep in talks with Leap
     Wireless, a second-tier but growing wireless player, to sell it a
     big piece of T-Mobile's customer accounts and some of its
     wireless spectrum, according to people involved in the
     negotiations ...  If the Leap deal sounds a bit like a Hail Mary
     pass, that is because it is."
