		<description>With respect to the CFO change, LightSquared has indicated that Mr Montemarano left due to his wife&#039;s illness in mid-November. What I find curious is that they waited six weeks to announce a replacement, only to select someone who has been involved with LightSquared/SkyTerra for several years. Making a fuss about the new CFO&#039;s prior relationship with Sprint seems strange, since he could well have been (and likely was) involved in discussions with Sprint all along. The way I look at it is that there isn&#039;t much specific need for a new CFO right now (fundraising is essentially impossible while the FCC issues remain unresolved), but there would be a lot for a CFO to do after a bankruptcy filing.

With respect to the question on Clearwire, I think its more important to look to what happens with AT&amp;T/DISH this month, because if the outcome is what I&#039;ve suggested previously, then there would be little room left for Clearwire as a wholesale provider to multiple players (and Sprint alone doesn&#039;t make Clearwire a good business). LightSquared has largely been announcing a different sort of wholesale customer - small players without any existing wireless network (Leap being the obvious exception), whereas Clearwire will provide supplementary hotspot capacity to major existing wireless players. Thus the outcome with LightSquared won&#039;t have very much direct impact on Clearwire&#039;s opportunity (though it might make people more negative on spectrum plays generally).</description>
