The company said it has agreed to sell its Florida cellular telephone operations to McCaw Communications Cos. It would not reveal the sale price, but a calculation of the price paid by McCaw for each potential subscriber indicated that it was in excess of $200 million. The sale of the Florida properties, which is expected to produce an after-tax gain of about $110 million, must be approved by the Federal Communications Commission.
