- Wednesday, February 29, 2012, 9:01 AM Microsoft (MSFT) is reportedly testing Qualcomm's (QCOM) stud MSM8960 chipset, hoping to have it ready for a Windows Phone 8 later this year. Sources say Sprint (S) would be interested in such a device and it has shared its LTE specs with Nokia (NOK). Comment! [Tech]
- Monday, February 27, 2012, 10:10 AM Sprint's (S -2.4%) 11th-hour decision to walk away from an $8B deal for MetroPCS (PCS -0.4%) prompts questions about its leadership and who's calling the shots. A deal "which may have cut equity holders’ stakes in half to get larger in the prepaid business seems a bit incongruent with the strategic direction,” Nomura says. As for PCS, other suitors could present themselves in the near future. Comment! [Tech, M&A, On the Move]
- Monday, February 27, 2012, 9:19 AM Sprint (S) will raise $2B through a private placement of debt which it says will help it fund newly-acquired Clearwire. Shares are down 1.6% premarket, still influenced in part by the blowup of the MetroPCS deal. 2 Comments [Tech]
- Friday, February 24, 2012, 6:35 PM More on the vetoed Sprint/MetroPCS deal: Sprint was reportedly offering a premium of 30% to MetroPCS' Wednesday close of $10.28; shares jumped on Thursday following MetroPCS' Q4 report, and closed today at $12.01. Execs at both companies expected a deal to be announced by week's end, but Sprint's board shot down the proposal on Wednesday. PCS +7.9% AH. LEAP +5%. S +0.4%. 1 Comment [Tech, M&A, On the Move]
- Friday, February 24, 2012, 5:23 PM Sprint's (S) was just "hours away" from agreeing to an $8B acquisition of discount carrier MetroPCS (PCS - current market cap of $4.35B) before its board vetoed the deal, claims CNBC's David Faber. No details are given, though it's quite conceivable that MetroPCS' spectrum and 4G LTE network could interest Sprint. PCS +5.3% AH. LEAP +5%. S -0.4%. 5 Comments [Tech, M&A]
- Friday, February 24, 2012, 8:41 AM Clearwire (CLWR) -6.4% premarket after Google (GOOG) discloses its intent to sell its 6.5% stake, or ~29.4M shares, in the company to Sprint (S). (SEC filing) 6 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
- Wednesday, February 22, 2012, 7:01 PM Comcast (CMCSA) is suing Sprint (S) over the alleged infringement of patents covering wireless networking technologies. The suit comes comes 2 months after Sprint sued Comcast and other cable providers for allegedly infringing on its voice-over-IP patents. Meanwhile, Sprint, T-Mobile, and MetroPCS (PCS) are continuing their efforts to halt Verizon's (VZ) spectrum/reseller deals with cable providers. 1 Comment [Tech]
- Wednesday, February 22, 2012, 10:20 AM Text messaging revenues, long a cash cow for carriers, are coming under fire from the growing mobile use of Facebook (FB), Twitter, and other social networking platforms. Ovum estimates "social messaging" cost carriers $13.9B in messaging revenue in 2011, up from $8.7B in 2010. Though as Olga Kharif notes, social networking activity is driving the sale of pricey smartphone data plans. Comment! [Tech]
- Tuesday, February 21, 2012, 11:19 AM RadioShack's (RSH -7.3%) Q4 results were in line with expectations, but shares plummet after the company provides downbeat guidance on its Q1 and 2012. CEO Jim Gooch warns net income will decline this year as RSH grapples with the continued negative impact of Sprint (S) sales and a shift to sales of lower margin smartphones, such as iPhones. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Friday, February 17, 2012, 9:18 AM Clearwire (CLWR) -4% following the release of its 10-K, in which the company discloses it may eventually need to raise more capital in order to build out its 4G LTE network, though it has enough to last through the end of 2012. Though Sprint (S) appears committed to keeping Clearwire afloat, the capital might not come cheap - the company just paid a 14.75% coupon on a $300M bond offering. (Q4 results) 3 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
- Thursday, February 16, 2012, 12:12 PM Clearwire (CLWR -6.8%), which had rallied strongly in February, is selling off after posting Q4 results, thanks to guidance for 2012 revenue of $1.15B-$1.25B (below a $1.37B consensus). Sprint's (S) strong iPhone sales (the 4S doesn't use Clearwire's network) and pending LTE rollout likely affected Clearwire's guidance - Clearwire mentioned during its earnings call that it's own LTE network won't go live until June 2013. 4 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
- Wednesday, February 15, 2012, 8:43 AM U.S. regulators pull the plug on wireless start-up LightSquared's proposal to build a new national wireless network on concerns the network would interfere with GPS devices. Sprint (S) planned to build and operate LightSquared’s network, but anticipating a rejection, has been distancing itself from the project. S +0.4% premarket. 1 Comment [Tech]
- Tuesday, February 14, 2012, 9:47 AM Alcatel Lucent (ALU +2.5%) reportedly is nearing a deal with Sprint (S -0.9%) to use ALU's new telecom gear designed to help wireless networks handle more calls. ALU's CTO says several U.S. carriers are testing and may soon deploy lightRadio, a small device that can be mounted on rooftops, phone poles and bus shelters to expand a network's capacity in a given spot. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Tuesday, February 14, 2012, 4:54 AM Sprint (S) won't count the impact of the iPhone on the company's profits while calculating employee bonuses, according to a regulatory filing yesterday. The result is that CEO Dan Hesse's bonus will come in at $1.77M for 2011 instead of $1.53M, with Sprint justifying the move by saying it didn't have the iPhone on its radar when it set performance metrics last year. 5 Comments [Tech]
- Thursday, February 9, 2012, 3:46 PM Following Sprint's (S -1.7%) earnings release yesterday, Credit Suisse now expects the carrier to report a combined loss of 364,000 contract customers in 2012-13, a change from a forecast gain of 919,000. CS sees greater customer turnover among users of Sprint's older network technologies as it upgrades to 4G LTE during the next several years. 2 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
- Thursday, February 9, 2012, 12:48 PM Buried in a giant Congressional bill is a clause requiring the FCC to ignore factors such as market dominance when determining a company's eligibility for a spectrum auction. The clause is supported by wireless behemoths Verizon (VZ) and AT&T (T) - the latter badly wants more spectrum after the FCC helped block the T-Mobile deal. Sprint (S), T-Mobile, Leap Wireless (LEAP), and others oppose it. 1 Comment [Tech, M&A]

Sinjjn Smythe: I buy mgmt with assets that are way undervalued. CLWR according to a January article here on SA, said spectrum was worth at least $10/share.

Sinjjn Smythe: I'm guessing with 6 new paying clients and $1 billion in cash and a year ahead of schedule with S helping out on 4G that its now worth $15.
