[Johnson, Bill]

Wow, did you read who will be on their board?

"Company Management and Board of Directors 

Benjamin G. Wolff will continue to serve as Clearwire's chief executive
officer, and Perry Satterlee continues as the company's chief operating
officer. Sprint's two most senior WiMAX leaders have joined Clearwire's
management team. Barry West, who served as Sprint's chief technology
officer and XOHM business unit leader, is now president and chief
architect of Clearwire, and Atish Gude, formerly senior vice president
of Sprint's XOHM mobile broadband operations, is now senior vice
president and chief marketing officer of Clearwire. 

Clearwire's Board of Directors will initially have eight members.
Clearwire founder and wireless pioneer, Craig McCaw, is non-executive
chairman of the board. Along with McCaw, other directors are Dan Hesse,
Sprint's chief executive officer; Keith Cowan, Sprint's president,
strategy and corporate development; John Stanton, chairman and chief
executive officer of Trilogy Equity Partners and former chairman and
chief executive officer of VoiceStream and Western Wireless; Sean
Maloney, executive vice president, chief sales and marketing officer of
Intel; Frank Ianna, former president of network services for AT&T; Jose
A. Collazo, former head of BT Global Services and former chairman,
president and chief executive officer of Infonet Services Corporation;
and Dennis Hersch, former global chairman of mergers and acquisitions

filled in the coming weeks.

Some schools in Oklahoma have leases with Clearwire, some with Sprint.
Now, those will all be with Clearwire! My guess is that the union will
be greater than the sum of the two.
