On Monday, Sprint formally objected to the merger of AT&T and T-Mobile, calling the government to reject the deal duo to the affects it will have in the wireless space.

Vonya McCann, senior vice president of government affairs at Sprint, said in a statement “Sprint urges the United States government to block this anti-competitive acquisition. This transaction will harm consumers and harm competition at a time when this country can least afford it.

Last Sunday, AT&T announced plans to acquire T-Mobile for $39 billion. Because they think that the purchase will contribute to stopping the spectrum crunch and spur the company’s deployment of 4G service.

McCann continued “As the first national carrier to roll out 4G services and handsets and the carrier that brought simple unlimited pricing to the marketplace, Sprint stands ready to compete in a truly dynamic marketplace. So on behalf of our customers, our industry and our country, Sprint will fight this attempt by AT&T to undo the progress of the past 25 years and create a new Ma Bell duopoly.”

Do you believe that the merge should be able to go on?

Hmn, I don’t think it would be a bad thing that they join together…


isn’t it better for them to be on their own? they’re all big companies anyways!


y not..i think it will be pretty good LOL


wow.... thx for sharing


haha, they so would. But I mean...AT&T;’s service sucks. That’s why a lot of current T-mobile customers switched from AT&T;to T-Mobile. I just think a lot of those customers are gonna switch.


if they do merge, sprint is going to go down the drain lol


I don’t think the merge will be able to continue because they’re both huge companies like ivywxy said. :D
They like competing.


umm
i really doubt the merge will happen then

i mean they’re both like HUGEE companies :/
mergin is VERY difficult ><

thanks for sharing! :D


Wow, competition is harsh. Thanks for sharing. 


I hope the government steps in. I use T-Mobile so I don’t want AT&T;owning them. I have a feeling that AT&T;will eventually eat up the other company and raise the prices. Also,I like it how there is a lot competition in the mobile phone world. 


I don’t have a problem with the merge and definitely want to see it materialize. I know this merge is a big threat to companies because it’ll wipe out other cell phone companies. this is legal in the states? I learned something in economics about merging but I can’t really remember xD
