SoftBank Corp. President Masayoshi Son lashed out at fellow billionaire Charlie Ergen, saying he doesn’t have the expertise to run Sprint Nextel Corp., the U.S. mobile-phone company both men are trying to take over.
Ergen, the chairman of Dish Network Corp., doesn’t have a wireless background, making him a poor fit to run Sprint, Son said yesterday in an event in Tokyo. He questioned the wisdom of Ergen’s strategy to combine Sprint with a satellite-television company instead of another mobile-phone carrier like his own.
