"Today's announcement is indicative of the improvement in our financial condition and our positive outlook for the future," says Chairman Mark Sellers.

17 Jun, 8:28 PM Sprint (S) files suit to end Dish's (DISH) $4.40/share tender offer for Clearwire (CLWR), alleging the deal (endorsed by Clearwire last week) violates Delaware law and the rights of Sprint and other "strategic" Clearwire investors.
