Merger mania is really taking hold in the wireless space. In addition to the fact that AWE is actively soliciting a buyer, all sorts of rumors are floating around, including a possible purchase of Sprint PCS by VZW. The latter I tend to discount, since that would be a merger of truly epic proportions, but you can never rule it out, especially since the two companies have a long history of partnership. IMHO, a VZW/Sprint merger would be great (especially since I am a VZW customer that would potentially benefit!).

Other merger rumors that I don't believe include Nextel buying AWE (why? their technologies are pretty much incompatible).
