NEW YORK (Reuters) - Hedge fund manager Philip Falcone will face a
united front when negotiating with key investors that own bank debt
sold by LightSquared, the money-losing wireless telecom company
controlled by his fund.

A number of LightSquared debt holders have joined together to retain
high-powered bankruptcy attorney Thomas Lauria, who heads White &
Case's global restructuring group, said two people familiar with the
situation.

Thanks. I meant to do my weekly look into the lightsquared fiasco and
plain forgot.

Article QUOTE
Falcone has said a bankruptcy would not necessarily wipe out his hedge
fund's considerable equity stake in LightSquared because its operating
spectrum licenses retain value.

It is exactly that spectrum that Icahn and others are salivating over
and why they pitched cash at L^2's bondholders for L^2 debt in January
when it was clear L^2 was going to crash. Don't know what the
cents-on-the-dollar was, but Icahn will be singing:

"Hz for sale, appetizing, oscillating Hz for sale...."
(Sorry to Billie & Cole).
