Sprint is just making it clear that the purchase proposal from DISH is unactionable without Sprint's approval. All these ridiculous terms DISH put in the offer require changes to governance that will

Barring some sort of Dish Lawsuit, this appears to be the end of the line now. With Mount Kellett on board with the others and also agreeing to sell their shares privately to Sprint no matter what happens, this pretty much cements the marriage of Sprint and Clearwire.

It is over.

 

9% plus 64 % almost guarantees Sprint wins. If Sprint's deal fails they would have over 75% votes to push a new deal.

 

And with the expedited shareholder meeting and all the other changes, even if this transaction fails, it would be over quickly.

Dish is going to make some good money on this actually.  They bought a bunch of Clearwire stock and Sprint is going to have to pay off the debt.

 

That's what caused the share price to increase though. I guess we'll see. If Sprint takes 100% ownership of the company in terms of shares, wouldn't it be delisted?

$10k is not rich. But every little bit toward retirement is appreciated.

Wow!!! This news about Sprint and Clearwire on my birthday today!!!  Thank you Sprint for making my birthday wish come true.  I wish Clearwire didn't postpone the vote from June 24th to July 8th but I understand they need to give shareholders time to think about it even though there is a very good chance this merger will go through.

Dang tiny keyboard on this Nexus. It's more than that. That's a typo. But either way, @ $1.61 per share purchase I did well.

Maybe, maybe not. It wouldn't surprise me to see Charlie try something outlandish. 

 

I wish he'd just go play with T-Mo and leave Sprint/Clearwire alone. See how quickly the Clearwire special board endorsed Sprint's new offer? Why keep messing with two entities that obviously want no part of him? The funny part is that Deutsche Telekom would be a willing seller.

If someone has already posted the new Clearwire vote date I missed it.

 

" The Company plans to reconvene the Special Meeting of Stockholders on Monday, July 8, 2013 at 10:30 AM Pacific"

 

I guess Charlie has till then.

I believe it is around 72.25( 50.2 from Sprint + 45% of 49 from minority), but that is only currently. If Dish kills Sprint's bid, then Sprint will get 115 million and be able to buy shares off the open market since the standstill agreement will be waved plus the dilution from the convertible bonds. Also Mount Kellett Group has pledged their shares to sprint no matter the outcome of the vote. 

 
I would not be surprised if they have over 75%, if the current deal fails. It is almost just a formality at this point.

Where did you get 73% from

 

 

51% from Sprint, 13% from the strategic investors and 9% from the hedge funds.
I think I read somewhere this afternoon that Clearwire executives pledged their stock to Sprint also. I don't know what percentage that is.

 

Also, there are also a lot of us minority shareholders not being counted as being with Sprint and they just don't know how we'll vote on July 8th. But there have to be enough of us to push it over the edge now.

 

I wouldn't even be surprised if a few more large minority shareholders jumped ship now over to Sprint. To go with Dish is no guarantee of getting the deal because of litigation. Sprint is a sure deal, and is a much more reasonable price than previous offers.

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

      FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
