US operator Sprint has settled the case it brought against AT&T for unfair competition with the 5GE marketing gimmick with apparently little to show for it.
The US Department of Justice might not let the merger go through in its current form, according to reports.
The anti-trust chief in the Department of Justice is said to be receptive to T-Mobile and Sprint’s argument that the combined company will improve America’s competitiveness in 5G.
T-Mobile US has announced the launched of an LTE Fixed Wireless Access service, which could address the connectivity needs of 50 million, assuming the Sprint merger is approved of course.
Leading opponents of President Trump have signed a letter to the FCC condemning the proposed T-Mobile US and Sprint merger, suggesting the threat of regionalised monopolies and sky-high bills.
He might be wild-eyed, egotistical and unconventional, but you can’t argue with the results T-Mobile US CEO John Legere is delivering shareholders.
AT&T and Verizon announced that they will terminate all remaining commercial agreements that involve sharing customer location data, following a report exposing the country’s mobile carriers’ failure to control data sharing flow.
It’s been a busy day on the US side of the pond as T-Mobile US reported its full-year subscription figures, while AT&T promised a nationwide 5G rollout with few details.
With the CFIUS giving a green light on the $26 billion merger of TMUS and Sprint, attention can now be turned to the final hurdles presented by the Department of Justice (JoJ) and FCC.
While some might view European Commission’s decision for T-Mobile Netherlands acquisition of Tele2’s Dutch business as a softening approach to consolidation, White & Case, one of the law firms working on the deal, warned you shouldn’t get too excited.
The European Commission has officially approved Deutsche Telekom’s acquisition of Tele2’s Dutch business, reducing the number of MNOs in the country from four to three.
New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood could prove to be another hurdle for T-Mobile and Sprint to overcome in their headache-inducing merger.
Perhaps realising the gravity of the situation, the FCC has drafted in outside help to assess the impact of the T-Mobile-Sprint merger on the US economy.
In a move which perhaps indicates the Sprint/T-Mobile team is starting to get nervous, Sprint CEO Michel Combes is rousing employee support for the very merger which could potentially make them redundant.
Kit vendor Ericsson has announced a major deal win in the form of a $3.5 billion contract to bring TMUS into the 5G era.
T-Mobile, ably led by wild-eyed CEO John Legere, has been causing chaos throughout the US wireless market, but a data-breach could impact the brands credibility in the eyes of customers.
T-Mobile and Nokia have jointly announced another incremental step towards 5G Nirvana with a bi-directional over-the-air 5G data session.
Sprint CEO Marcelo Claure has undertaken a new role at Softbank, heading up the acquisition team, in what we can only imagine was a calculated more to keep the eccentric T-Mobile boss John Legere away from the suits.
When you talk about the telcos in the digital era one of the super trends we’ve been watching is content. But is the desire to diversify causing more damage than good?
