Under the original proposal, MetroPCS shareholders would be paid about $4.09 a share and receive a 26% stake in the new company.
With the merger unraveling, DT decided it needed to salve the wounds it created. It offered to reduce the debt burden of the combined company by $3.8 billion and said it would cut the interest rate it charged by half a percentage point. Additionally, it would increase from six months to 18 months the amount of time it would have to hang onto the new company’s stock, but the rest of the terms apparently will remain unchanged.
While the original deal was scheduled to be voted on by MetroPCS shareholders tomorrow, that has now been pushed back to April 24 to give more time to review the deal. And while not giving any indication of which way it would fall on the new offer, at least the asset management firm has said it appreciated the olive branch.

3. In my daily conversations with ordinary people, I’ve discovered that many don’t know how much a billion or a trillion dollars is. It means the same thing to them as a gazillion. So they don’t begin to understand the stimulus package that is promising to inject $789 billion into the economy, nor what kind of impact it is supposed to have.
To put the Obama administration’s stimulus package into practical terms, we can compare the current debt-based economy to a noose that is choking us. The current theory assumes that if you lengthen the rope, then we will land on our feet before we hang. But for that to work you have to know how deep the fall is. The experts admit they are clueless as to where the bottom is.
