On the AT&T presentation at the JPMorgan Global Technology, Media and Telecom Conference, the CEO of AT&T Randall Stephenson said he was disappointed in the mobility business in Q1.

And first quarter in mobility was probably not our best quarter; I don't think we executed very well in the first quarter. It was a bit disappointing to me."

| 17:16 EDT | | CLWR, S | Crest Financial takes first step to perfect appraisal rights of Clearwire shares
Crest Financial Limited, the largest of the independent, minority stockholders of Clearwire (CLWR), has told its brokerage firms to take all necessary steps to perfect Crest's rights under Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law to seek appraisal for the common stock of Clearwire that it beneficially owns. The Delaware law permits Clearwire shareholders electing to exercise their appraisal rights to ask the Delaware Court of Chancery to determine the fair value of their Clearwire common stock if the Sprint (S)-Clearwire merger is consummated and certain other conditions are satisfied. The law states that a Clearwire stockholder that votes FOR the Sprint-Clearwire merger cannot elect to exercise its appraisal rights. Crest has long argued that the price Sprint Nextel is offering to pay Clearwire stockholders for their shares is highly inadequate, that the merger was structured in a way that unfairly disadvantages minority stockholders and that Clearwire would be better off if it remained a stand-alone company. Crest also commended Glass, Lewis & Co., a leading proxy advisory firm, for its recommendation urging that Clearwire stockholders vote against the proposed merger with Sprint. Crest said is strongly disagreed with the view of ISS that the Sprint-Clearwire merger should succeed. |
