First Sprint was rumored to be taken over in a not so pleasant way by a bunch of Germans aka T-Mobile and now it appears they are trying to stave off any takeover attempts by finally cementing that WiMax deal with Clearwire with cable operator Bright House Networks injecting $3.2 billion to back the venture.

As I alluded to yesterday, the wireless companies did react to Verizon’s unlimited offerings with plans of their own. AT&T essentially matched the $99 voice plan but only for non smartphone users, which is ridiculous as most power users don’t use flip or candy bar phones.

T-Mobile’s CEO Hamid Akhavan decided to remind the world that they still plan on launching a 3G network in the US, hopefully by late summer. The CEO also claimed that it will be “the best 3G network in the country.”
