T-Mobile USA Considering Deal with Clearwire

Mar 18, 2010, 11:07 AM by Eric M. Zeman

According to Reuters, T-Mobile USA is looking at different ways to boost its spectrum capacity. As part of that goal, the company is considering forming a joint venture with one or more other companies. "We continue to look at JV opportunities for additional spectrum... there are a number of different options we look at, (we) have been talking with cable companies, with Clearwire," Robert Dotson, chief executive of T-Mobile USA. The company does not believe the national broadband plan, recently forwarded to congress by the FCC, will be of help in its goal. Notably, Dotson responded to a question about a merger with Sprint, "What you never want to do is take one company that is going through challenges and take another company going through challenges" and put them together. T-Mobile didn't detail how a joint venture with Clearwire would work. Clearwire is Sprint's partner in building out a national WiMax network. T-Mobile has committed to bringing Long Term Evolution (technology that competes with WiMax) to market as its next-generation technology. Both T-Mobile and Sprint lag market leaders Verizon and AT&T by a growing margin.

Clear, The 4G Take Over

Looking forward to Clears move. LTE and WiMAX with 1 company. 🤤 I thought Clear was going to become an MVNO of Sprint when Clear launches thier 4G devices (phones).

Sprint had about 8 billion invested in Clear, it might be a little tough for T-mobile to outinvestsprint at this point.
