I personally wouldnt classify a Sprint/Clearwire combo as a little company, but I agree with your point. This "double whammy" clearly poses a threat to ATT's business model, and so they are attempting to take action. My take on this would be that instead of whining about it, ATT should use some of their own spectrum and deploy their own network if they think its that big of a threat. In all honesty they dont actually need to deploy anything as they are the LEC in a good portion of the country, so they already have access to all the customers.

I agree that AT&t views the new ClearWire as a threat.

The whining may be related to them having to divest some wireless bandwidth to ClearWire after the Bell South merger, sort of sour grapes.
