Sprint Execs Talk T-Mobile with Justice Department
I cant wait...
Until AT&T has their say in this matter! I think its going to be very hard for Hesse and Softbank to show the good with this when Big Blue will step in and just press PLAY on the recording of when Dan said "this country needs more competition, not eliminating it" (paraphrase).
