SoftBank and Dish Network Will Buy Out Sprint, T-Mobile, and Clearwire http://beta.fool.com/alexcho/2013/0...t-sprint-t-mob/37619/?source=eogyholnk0000001 Interesting
His prediction has already failed, with Sprint's increase to $5/share the Clearwire board is now recommending a yes vote for the Sprint offer.
I just saw that this came through that what I posted earlier was from early this morning but they can still go after T-Mobile like it said also
......Clearwire Accepts New Takeover Offer From Sprint 3:04 pm http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2013/06...-offer-from-sprint/?partner=yahoofinance&_r=0
The Kansas paper (sprint headquarters ) said a good part of it was the probability that the Japanese would leave Sprint management in place while Dish would bring in new management.

Charlie made it expensive. They are using billions that was going be used for operations to finance the buyout. He has put a big hole in their financial nestegg.
Charlie said at Team Summit that they would either have Sprint or they would be left with valuable spectrum while the others spend too much.

Misleading headline. It makes it seem that the Sprint bid is a done deal. That's not the case at all, reading the article. The shareholders are recommending the Sprint bid for now. Dish could still counter offer.
Hello Gary? I think I already posted why in earlier posts. Charlie Ergen has a bad reputation in the business sector with other businesses. Ask Tivo , Microsoft , or Blockbuster about that one. How about the numerous lawsuits that went on for years and years? Not to mention that most people who work for DISH have horror stories to tell about the way they are treated and how much Charlie can squeeze a penny.
Me think maybe because it is Charlie Ergen
Exactly what I've been saying since the beginning.
Which is what I said since this Sprint merger talk started : that Sprint wouldn't want to be acquired by DISH in the first place. They knew that they would be out of their management jobs if the merger was allowed and Charlie took over. Just look at what DISH has done to Blockbuster.
I wonder how long until we see a new Dish Clearwire bid? If Sprint fails at getting the rest of Clearwire, I wonder what Softbank will end up doing?
How many times do you need to mention your debunked statement regarding BB?
Till you can prove that it is "debunked" and so far you haven't convinced me of anything. Keep shaking your DISH pom poms.

Well, don't bother.... You can't. It's speculation.
The reason why, WE, as consumers would have wanted Sprint to merge with Dish was to offer more options for mobile communications and entertainment. Just because Sprint doesn't work for you now doesn't mean that it never can. Sprint really isn't that available in my market but if Dish and Sprint merged they could have used all the spectrum they have together to cover a larger area. Dish's goal is to provide a better service to areas that do not have those options currently. Dish wants people in rural areas to have a good broadband service along with TV and phone.
