I don't see DISH getting Sprint or Clear wire. All the market people keep saying as much that I read each day. I see them forcing up the amount other companies have to pay because of their bids, but I don't see DISH getting the company or Clear wire.

Sprint may delay SoftBank shareholder vote: Bloomberg Citing sources familiar with the matter, Bloomberg said Sprint's board was waiting on a binding offer from Dish Network (DISH.O), which made an unsolicited bid to acquire Sprint in mid-April.Dish was not immediately available for comment.

Interesting....Exclusive: SoftBank eyes T-Mobile US as ‘Plan B' as the Japanese company looks for alternatives to enter the U.S. wireless market if its $20.1 billion deal with Sprint Nextel Corp (S.N) falls apart, according to three sources familiar with the situation on Friday http://finance.yahoo.com/news/exclusive-softbank-eyes-t-mobile-193643098.html
If Dish takes Sprint and Softbank takes T-mobile, I think that's a win for everyone. Should bring a lot of competition for Verizon and AT&T.
I am hearing rumblings that SoftBank is thinking if pulling out of the Sprint deal. If this is true then it's huge for Dish.

I'm thinking they'll just let Dish win and pay the $600 million break up fee.
...but not surprising. Companies looking for acquisitions always have backup plans.

I've heard this as well. Very surprising but very good news for dish other than the extra 5 billion will go to SoftBank for breakup fees and the money they've already given to sprint.

Odd. I just saw on CNBC today a blurb about the Sprint board member who would become CEO once the Softbank buyout finishes the gov't approval process. It made it sound like Softbank was getting them.
I'm pretty sure Dan Hesse would remain CEO

Sprint and SoftBank Weigh Alternatives to a Deal June 9, 2013, 9:18 pm http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2013/06...-alternatives-to-a-deal/?partner=yahoofinance Interesting article imo 
I think Charlie wants at least a guarantee to tower rights with his spectrum even if he don't get Sprint by getting a chunk of Clearwire.
