 PROFILE
Wireless communications carrier Leap Wireless International wants to grow by leaps and bounds. Subsidiary Cricket Communications has more than 470,000 customers in some 20 markets in the southern and western US. The Cricket service features unlimited flat-rate local calling but no roaming. Leap, which operates CDMA (code division multiple access) digital networks, is buying licenses in order to expand Cricket's service throughout the US, and it plans to introduce wireless data services. The company also owns a stake in PEGASO, which provides mobile phone service in Mexico. Leap was spun off from QUALCOMM in 1998.
