Reports surfaced
earlier this week that Sprint was pushing to acquire the remainder of Clearwire, and now
Bloomberg reports the current acquisition offer is around $2.1 billion for the remaining shares. Sprint's acquisition by Japanese carrier SoftBank is expected to fill the company's coffers, allowing them to finally acquire Clearwire and the company's massive spectrum holdings -- something most saw as the inevitable outcome. Minority Clearwire shareholders Mount Kellet Capital Management LP and Crest Financial Limited have
sued to stop the deal, urging Clearwire to look for better offers.
