    DISH Makes offer to buy Sprint (Rescinded)

The Nat Geo seem to be have more scope and better catagorised. Ideally I wish I could choose the channels I wanted in...

    One of Vodafones superb deals to sell to Softbank. I found Japan to have really poor coverage with its 9 cell phone companies especially rural and and also dead spots in major cities.

    Now I just hope Dish doesn't get their hands on clearwire. Clearwire should have been Dish's more obvious choice, hopefully Sprint have shown them the way.
