Deutsche Telekom Considering Sprint Nextel Bid
Alltel would have been a better target.
I have no idea what these guys are doing. Sprint's footprint is no better than their own. They should have targeted Alltel as I suggested previously.

Long before the private equity firm purchased Alltel and then held it for Verizon, T-Mobile could have gotten them. Add to this the fact that the FCC is now controlled by the Democrats and I don't know if this merger would even be allowed.

Altell would have been pointless for them to have purchased. It would have minimal effect on the overall business because there would not have been a very significant add in carriers or spectrum. Of course there is another obvious factor, Verizon. Verizon was out to purchase altell why would dutche try and out bid competition when it could buy Sprint at a steal.
Sprint currently has an estimated 47 billion in assets nationwide. On top of that they have nationwide coverage in the 840 mhz, 1900mhz, and the 2.4 ghz range. Not only do they have 3 nationwide spectrums, but the 1900 mhz spectrum that sprint uses still has plenty of available bandwidth and the 2.4 ghz is not even being used. This would mean that whatever carrier bought them cou...

Why is it, as you say, Sprint has an estimated $47B in assets, and yet the news article says that the company is only worth $10B? That doesn't make any sense to me.
...
The article is correct when it says sprint is worth 10.7 billion. By that it means all the outstanding shares of stock on the stock market equals 10.7 billion. That is different from the assets. The assets are everything that Sprint owes; the facilities, work force, real-estate, customers, spectrum, holdings and everything else. That is worth an estimated 47 billion. When you buy a company though you do not pay what it is worth, you pay what the stock is worth.

Didn't Sprint give up the 2.5GHz spectrum to Clear for 51% ownership and the spectrum is currently being used for WiMAX.
...
As to the technical details who owns the license weather it is sprint or clear wire, i am not sure. I thought sprint retained all ownership of the 2.5 licensing, but i could be wrong.
The truth of the matter is whether sprint owns the license or clear wire does it is pointless since sprint owns 51% of clear wire.If sprint chose to it could have clear wire sell the spectrum back to sprint.

Nevertheless, it's spectrum that will and/or be used for WiMAX

Or LTE. Sprint has made mention of possibly entertaing an LTE choice if WiMAX did not pan out. The 2.5ghz spectrum is very precious cargo in either aspect and there is a lot of it owned by Clearwire/Sprint.

I would prefer to see Sprint use WiMAX for a few years as a head start on the 4G competition yet an intermediate measure on the way to LTE.
When 800 MHz reconfiguration is finished, Sprint will retain SMR 800 MHz spectrum w/ 24 MHz bandwidth across most of the country. Sprint should redevelop that spectrum from iDEN 800 to LTE 800. Such would not require a flash cut from iDEN; rather, it could be done incrementally, as LTE supports channel bandwidths as small as 2.8 MHz. Additionally...
