Sprint Sues To Stop AT&T Purchase of T-Mobile
Sprint should be happy about the merger, unless they are liars.
Either Sprint is lying about the effect that the AT&T and T-Mobile merger will have on the public, or Dan Hess is a complete lunatic who has no idea how the markets work. Either way, it doesn't look good on sprint.
If the acquisition would lead to increased prices and lower quality products as the justice department has claimed, Sprint would be better off after the acquisition.
Sprint would be able to add subscribers, not lose them, because of AT&T's higher prices and lower quality.
If you think about it, Sprint should only oppose the acquisition-as it has- if it thought that the merger would put it in a worse position by increasing the competitive pressures that it already face.
