Power Player: Dish's Charlie Ergen

Description:The Power Player today is Charlie Ergen. The billionaire founder and chairman of Dish Network and EchoStar - making an unsolicited $2.28 billion bid for Clearwire. His offer for the wireless provider trumps Sprint's $2.2 billion proposal already on the table. Ergen is raising a lot of eyebrows. Some analysts say Ergen's chief goal may not be Clearwire. They speculate his bid is a power play meant to spark a bidding war with Sprint. (1:15)
