AT&T has asked the U.S. District Court to dimiss the lawsuit filed against it by Sprint. The Sprint lawsuit was filed in conjunction with the Department of Justice's lawsuit, which seeks to prevent AT&T from purchasing T-Mobile. Sprint has argued that the acquisition will hurt competition and raise consumer prices since the deal was first announced. These are the arguments also being made by the Justice Department. AT&T, however, says that Sprint has no standing in the matter. "Sprint cannot wrap itself in the cloak of wireless service consumers' interest because Sprint is not a consumer but instead a competitor in the sale of wireless services," the filing read, in part. AT&T is preparing to face the Justice Department in court on February 13. Vonya B. McCann, Senior Vice President of Government Affairs at Sprint responded to AT&T's filing. "AT&T's motion is without merit, and Sprint will respond to it next Friday and continue to cooperate with Judge Huvelle as she seeks to efficiently try both this case and the Justice Department’s case against AT&T."
