All Sprint acquisition discussion (was "Japan's Softbank in talks for $12.8 bln Sprint stake")

[supert0nes]

Kramer on Mad Money yesterday said keep new Sprint

[WiWavelength]

Here's my wishlist for Sprint going forward:

 

4. Bid on 600MHz spectrum and get a sizeable chunk (20x20)

 

I would not hold out hope for that wish to come true.  Many markets will be lucky to free up 40 MHz for their total 600 MHz band plan.

So can I loosen my spincther now?

 

Now, you are scaring our many spelling challenged members.  They see *loose* and think you might *lose* your sphincter.

To calm the nerves of our many wonderful members, I was luckily able to relax knowing that Sprint will be under Softbanks wing. So I'm superly duperly OK!!

Speaking of sphincters... I hope the FCC loosens their sphincter(s) real soon over the deal.

Just a case of poor reporting. They probably got confused with all the back and forth with Dish on who owns what.

You are right.  This is why Engadget is not worth my time anymore.

The FCC is not being a *tight ass* regarding SoftBank-Sprint. Xenophobic politicians and Dish are/were the ones *constipating* the deal.

 

Research. Go read the FCC docket:

Nice to hear the overwhelming support in favor of the Softbank/Sprint deal.  Next stop is July 8th on Clearwire.  Lets make this 2 for 2.

[IamMrFamous07]

Next is clearwire then global domination muwhahahaha *dr evil laugh*

[JeffDTD]

Very happy for Sprint today.  Best news we've gotten in more than 6 months. 

 

 

To be a fly on the wall wherever Ergen is crouching right now...  

 

 

 

I made this a while back and just kept it to myself, but I cannot resist now that the door is closed on the clown.

Basically the whole voting block is represented by 80% public shareholders such as myself. Out of that group, 98% voted for the transaction.
