Comments on: The Hans Christian Andersen strategy? https://tmfassociates.com/blog/2011/05/31/the-hans-christian-andersen-strategy/ Satellites, spectrum and other stuff Tue, 03 Feb 2026 21:36:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: timfarrar https://tmfassociates.com/blog/2011/05/31/the-hans-christian-andersen-strategy/comment-page-1/#comment-532 timfarrar Thu, 02 Jun 2011 23:19:21 +0000 http://tmfassociates.com/blog/?p=1875#comment-532 Let's wait and see if and when Sprint are willing to comment officially. We were here before in mid-March when we had <a href="http://blogs.forbes.com/elizabethwoyke/2011/03/16/ctias-likely-newsmakers-sprint-lightsquared-jim-cramer/" rel="nofollow">exactly the same statements</a> that LightSquared was about to announce a deal with Sprint at CTIA. The WSJ <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704004004576271523786624948.html" rel="nofollow">reported the same thing in mid April</a>. I'm told not to expect an announcement from Sprint on its Network Vision strategy until July at the earliest. In the meantime Sprint could simply use the threat of a deal with LightSquared as another lever in its negotiations with Clearwire. Regardless, in order to move forward LightSquared needs to raise more money before it can even begin to think about supplementing its existing spectrum holdings.
