Financial Times Reports On Sprint’s Nextel Buyout Saga, Blog DigitalOlympus.com Discusses

ASTORIA, N.Y. - May 10, 2013 - PRLog -- On May 9, popular news and technology blog DigitalOlympus.com commented on an article by David Gelles in the Financial Times regarding U.S. satellite television provider Dish Network’s efforts to persuade Sprint Nextel’s board to allow them to carry out due diligence investigations on the company as part of the buyout process.

A Financial Times (http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/f20e52a6-b436-11e2-ace9-00144feabdc0.html#axzz2SoP8jZEW) article revealed that Dish Network refuted what SoftBank chief executive Masayoshi Son said regarding the value of their bid, and took a more aggressive approach by trying to convince Sprint directors to grant them access to key financial information in order to conduct a thorough due diligence review.

According to the report, “By going on the offensive, Dish hopes to persuade Sprint’s board that it should be allowed to conduct due diligence on the third-largest US wireless carrier by subscribers.”

DigitalOlympus.com lead researcher Josh Cole commented on the article praising Dish Network’s determination to carry out an exhaustive due diligence (http://www.nardelloandco.com/practice-areas/due-diligence) investigation on Sprint Nextel’s books as part of the process to prove that their $25.5 billion bid is superior to the one from SoftBank.

“Dish’s commitment to due diligence is a key example of how business intelligence (http://www.nardelloandco.com/practice-areas/business-inte...) and business analytics can help improve operational decisions in an organization,” said Cole. “Enhanced decision-making can only be achieved by conducting the proper  investigations (http://www.nardelloandco.com/practice-areas/investigations/).
