TSE code 9984. A future strong player in the US market combined with its china internet assets, not to mention Yahoo Japan. Softbank is only now just on the radar.

Clearwire is the asset not the “KC Gang that can’t shoot straight”. Why would the strategic’s agree to Sprint’s low-ball offer if there is obviously higher bids out there? Sprint doesn’t have the authority to negotiate much on their own but why do think there is a hard stop at $2.97 a mere 2.4% above their joke of an opening bid?

They do not have a controlling seat or power just shares. Why would they considering how high Clearwire would rise if they announced a deal with Dish? Sprint still holds more shares then anyone so they would be making a lot of $$$ as well.
