This article talks about how Clearwire got a new multi-part agreement with Sprint saving the company from not being able to make a debt payment. the CEO, Prusch said "this is a significant event, a foundational event, a springboard for a lot of different things to occur." The deal achieved three key objects for Clearwire. 1) it extends the company's deal to provide WiMax service to Sprint. 2) they got a commitment to support its planned rollout of LTE service over the current WiMax footprint, and 3) they got a commitment for additional equity funding. Prush says that this is a sign that "their relationship with Sprint is constructive." This article is a great example of two companies bringing their teams together to make one big team. Prusch goes on to say that this deal will have all great outcomes and that if Clearwire reaches a certain quota, that Sprint is willing to participate in more areas for them. The article doesn't talk a lot about teamwork, but if you read the whole article and think in depth, then you can realize that Clearwire is working hard as a team to get such a good deal, not just one individual can achieve this. It most likely took a lot of planning and cooperation to get the propisition they needed to ask for the deal. You can also see that both companies believe in good teamwork considering that they are joining together to work as even a bigger team.
Since its a brand new article, we don't know the final outcomes of the deal. But we can only hope that it works out as well as Prusch is hoping and believes it to.
