Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ): Current Price $50.86
The Wall Street Journal reports that Verizon Wireless will pay as much as $1.5 billion to acquire spectrum leases from Clearwire Corporation (NASDAQ:CLWR). The purchase would give the United States’ biggest wireless carrier the right to use airwaves currently controlled by Clearwire in big domestic markets. Beyond that, it further complicates a three-way series of agreements in which Clearwire would divest itself to part owner Sprint Nextel Corporation, and Sprint agreed to sell a controlling interest in itself to Softbank of Japan. Adding yet another factor, Sprint now has become the subject of a competitive takeover bid from DISH Network Corporation.
