Japanese mobile operator Softbank Corp said it will purchase about 70 percent of Sprint Nextel Corp , the third-largest U.S. carrier, for $20.1 billion - the most a Japanese firm has spent on an overseas acquisition.The deal, announced by Softbank's billionaire founder and chief Masayoshi Son and Sprint Chief Executive Dan Hesse at a packed news conference in Tokyo on Monday, gives Softbank entry into a U.S. market that is still growing, while Japan's market is stagnating.It also gives Sprint the firepower to buy peers and build out its 4G network to compete in a market dominated by AT&T Inc and Verizon Wireless .Shares in one potential target, Clearwire Corp, surged 21 percent to $2.81 on Monday. Sprint owns 48 percent of Clearwire. While Softbank said no action was required, most analysts and investors see a Sprint-Clearwire tie-up as an inevitable consequence of the Softbank deal.
