Deal Journal. Dish Network Corp.’s surprise $25.5 billion bid for Sprint Nextel Corp. may leave the No. 4 carrier T-Mobile with a tougher hand to play in a consolidating wireless market. Associated Press Sprint’s deal with satellite-TV provider Dish would likely include Sprint’s planned acquisition of Clearwire Corp., bringing together a massive amount of spectrum under a company with a large pile of debt.

Thursday, Jan. 22, 2009 By Douglas A. McIntyre and Ashley C. Allen It has been over a year since we published our feature "The 25 Best Financial Blogs. " This is a list of independent blogs.

For constant business updates, go to 247wallst.com. See the best social networking applications.
