Clearwire Investors Join Push for Higher Bid

More Clearwire Corp. shareholders have joined the chorus of investors asking Sprint Nextel Corp. to raise its bid for the wireless-network operator after a counteroffer from Dish Network Corp.

Glenview Capital Management, which owns about 28 million Class A shares, plans to reject Sprint’s current offer, according to a person with direct knowledge of the situation. Taran Asset Management, another Clearwire investor, will file a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission, arguing that Clearwire is worth more than Sprint’s bid, said Chris Gleason, a principal at the New York-based firm.
