T-Mobile, Sprint On the Verge of Announcing Merger: Reports

Apr 27, 2018, 7:16 PM by Eric M. Zeman

T-Mobile and Sprint are once again weighing a merger between the two businesses and may make an announcement as soon as Sunday, according to multiple reports. Unnamed sources cited by Bloomberg, Reuters, the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times all suggest the two companies, which have flirted with one another for years, are back at the table hammering out a deal. T-Mobile and Sprint were in merger discussions as recently as last year, but called off the talks when they couldn't agree which firm would take control of the combined entity. It's unclear what has changed since then, though the regulatory environment in the U.S. will likely pose less of an obstacle than before. The deal, which would see T-Mobile take control of 40% of Sprint along with voting control, may be valued at about $26 billion and would create the third-largest wireless provider in the country with about 127 million connections. The combined company might be more competitive with industry leaders AT&T and Verizon Wireless than either could be on its own. Neither T-Mobile nor Sprint commented on the matter.

I don't know what to say

I'm hoping for cross roaming but then again... I don't want anyone touching my sero plan.

Im interested in hearing how shentel feels about this because they are a successful affiliate.

Also... I'm curious if Google knew ahead of time and that's why they canceled GV Integration by June 1st

This merger is inevitable. If not now, sometime soon in the near future. Neither company has the resources alone to battle the AT&T/Verizon juggernaut. I’ve always believed we’d be down to three major telecoms.

The more interesting question is...
