In a rare occurrence, AT&T and Sprint have come to an agreement to begin their own legal battles in court after an upcoming trial between AT&T and the U.S. Department of Justice. Both carriers decided they don’t want to interfere with the case, which will begin on February 13, 2012. The U.S. Justice Department originally filed…
Cash-strapped Clearwire wants to raise up to $345 million from stock sales as it struggles to keep afloat.
