NEW YORK -- Dish Network DISH offered to acquire Clearwire CLWR for $3.30 a share, or $5.15 billion, topping a bid from Sprint S for the wireless service provider.
Clearwire said Tuesday it would discuss the unsolicited offer with Dish. But Sprint, which owns 51% of Clearwire, said it would have to sign off on Dish's offer and that it has no plans to do that.
Sprint reached a deal in December to buy the 49% of Clearwire that it didn't own for $2.90 a share. It later raised the offer to $2.97 a share.
