i am not sure, but i thought charlie was hurting for cash where selling to dtv was considered. i guess he could sell off some of his spectrum for a quick cash infusion? However, if he doesnt partner it could finish him if it doesnt pan out or if isnt exclusive to him in the beginning. especially if he hurting financially.
If he did partner with softbank, this could see its way overseas with softbank and be global quickly, which son would love for sure.
With all the possibilities of pcell this could really shake things up in the wireless world, or make it an even playing field between the 4.
Gov will want to step in , as they might end up losing a lot of money from spectrum sales.
