- Friday, March 15, 12:26 PM With its cable spectrum purchases on the books, Verizon Wireless (VZ, VOD) is planning to build 5K 4G cell sites this year in the AWS band, whose airwaves feature less range but more bandwidth than those in the 700 MHz. band where Verizon's 4G buildout has taken place. The expansion suggests Verizon is now focused on improving 4G capacity/speeds rather than coverage (where it has an edge). Separately, Wells Fargo says checks indicate Verizon is taking share from AT&T (T), that both are taking share from Sprint (S), and that Sprint is taking share from T-Mobile. 1 Comment [Tech]
- Monday, March 11, 4:54 PM A touch-only successor to the BlackBerry Z10 (BBRY +13.9%) will launch in 2H, and Sprint (S) will carry it, AllThingsD's Ina Fried reports. Sprint is expected to begin selling the QWERTY-sporting Q10 around mid-year. 15 Comments [Tech]
- Friday, March 8, 12:36 PM Clearwire (CLWR) execs have strong personal incentives to support Sprint's (S) $2.97/share buyout offer, the Puget Sound Business Journal observes. CEO Erik Prusch will receive nearly a $7M payout if/when the deal closes, CTO John Saw will receive over $2M, and CFO Hope Cochran nearly $1.8M. Other execs are set to receive over $1M, and Clearwire board members (some of whom are reviewing Dish Network's $3.30/share offer) $160K apiece. 8 Comments [Tech, M&A]
- Wednesday, March 6, 11:57 AM With the White House having given its support to legalizing the unlocking of cell phones, Sen. Ron Wyden has introduced a bill that would do just that. Passage of the bill could lead to a bump in churn for U.S. carriers, as consumers are no longer required to buy a new phone (and, should they want a subsidy, agree to a contract) to switch carriers. However, some phones only work on a particular carrier's network due to band compatibility issues, and carriers could start requesting more such devices in an effort to keep customers from leaving. 14 Comments [Tech]
- Tuesday, March 5, 3:27 AM White House adviser David Edelman said the Obama Administration supports changing the law so that consumers can unlock their cell phones and tablet computers so they can work on another operator's network. Mobile users had been allowed to unlock their devices without their carrier's permission until a recent change in the regulation by the Library of Congress' Copyright Office. 6 Comments [Tech, Consumer]
- Wednesday, February 27, 9:25 AM Clearwire (CLWR) -2.5% after confirming it's tapping $80M in financing provided by Sprint (S); it consists of debt that could be exchanged into Clearwire stock at $1.50/share in the future. The 4G network owner says it hasn't decided whether to take additional financing from Sprint, and intends to continue talking with Dish (DISH) about a deal. Also, Clearwire is no longer obligated to go through with an accelerated 4G LTE buildout should it take the last 3 financing draws available to it (available from August-October). (WSJ report) 1 Comment [Tech, On the Move]
- Wednesday, February 27, 2:39 AM Clearwire (CLWR) reportedly intends to draw financing from Sprint (S) in the form of convertible debt in a move that will complicate Dish's (DISH) efforts to acquire Clearwire. Dish has told Clearwire it will withdraw its offer if the latter takes the loans, although sources say the action isn't designed to put Dish off. 2 Comments [Tech, Consumer, Top Stories]
- Monday, February 25, 5:40 PM Desperate to become less dependent on Google/Apple, over a dozen carriers are now backing Mozilla's Firefox OS - the list includes Sprint (S), Telefonica (TEF), T-Mobile (DTEGY.PK), and America Movil (AMX). Sony (SNE), Huawei, ZTE, LG, and Alcatel (ALU) plan to make hardware for the platform, but Samsung, which is committed to Tizen as an Android alternative, isn't interested. An AMX exec promises $100 Firefox phones will arrive; Android phones are already in that price range in emerging markets. (previous) 3 Comments [Tech]
- Thursday, February 21, 1:00 PM Sprint (S -0.4%) is on the lookout for additional deals that can increase its spectrum position, says CEO Dan Hesse. The comments come even as rivals argue Sprint will have an oversized spectrum position if/when the Clearwire (CLWR +1%) acquisition goes through. Leap Wireless (LEAP -3.2%), always discussed whenever spectrum-related M&A deals are brought up, is adding to yesterday's post-earnings losses. 3 Comments [Tech, M&A]
- Wednesday, February 20, 2:18 PM Dish Network (DISH +0.3%) will likely strike a 4G partnership with Sprint (S -0.8%) if its $3.30/share offer for Clearwire (CLWR -1%) is accepted, management states during the company's Q4 earnings call. However, Dish adds it has other options should the offer fail to pan out. Some think Dish's offer is a "chess move" meant to bring Sprint to the negotiating table. (more) (Q4 results) 7 Comments [Tech, Consumer]
- Wednesday, February 20, 12:00 PM Sprint (S -0.8%) is forming a mobile ad partnership with giant European/Latin American carrier Telefonica (TEF -1.5%). The companies plan to deliver targeted ads to Sprint sites/apps, and to "explore efficient ways of providing global advertisers and agencies with new and easier options to plan multicountry mobile campaigns." Carrier efforts to develop Internet services that compete with those of Internet giant have a way of falling short of expectations. 1 Comment [Tech]
- Wednesday, February 20, 11:14 AM Leap Wireless (LEAP -7.7%) falls after missing Q4 revenue estimates and reporting a 337K subscriber net loss - that's worse than 269K net loss reported for Q3, and evidence of further share losses. Churn was 4.6%, down from Q3's 4.8% but up from 3.9% a year ago, and cost per gross add rose 17% Q/Q and 53% Y/Y to $363. ARPU rose slightly to $42.74, a 4G roaming deal has been signed with an unnamed carrier, and a dispute with Sprint (S) over a wholesale deal has been settled. Shares have been range-bound since last summer. CC underway (webcast). (PR) Comment! [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]

- Wednesday, February 6, 12:51 PM The average mobile user gobbled up 201MB of data/month in 2012, more than twice the 92MB/month consumed in 2011, according to this year's update to Cisco's (CSCO) Visual Networking Index. Cisco predicts mobile data traffic will post a 66% CAGR from 2012-2017, with 47% of 2017 traffic coming from Asia-Pac, 46% being offloaded onto Wi-Fi gear and femtocells, and 66% stemming from mobile video (YouTube dominates).
