T-Mobile and Sprint Should Merge: 10 Reasons Why
Consolidation Will Happen One Way or Another
.
News Analysis: Now that it looks likely that the proposed AT&T-T-Mobile
merger will be blocked in federal court, perhaps its time to talk about
why a T-Mobile-Sprint merger makes more sense and might even have a better
chance of passing antitrust scrutiny.

T-Mobile and Sprint Should Merge: 10 Reasons Why
.
The wireless industry is in a state of flux right now. Earlier this year,
when AT&T announced plans to acquire T-Mobile USA from Deutsche Telekom in
a deal valued at $39 billion, there was immediate concern for the future
of the industry.
.
The critics said that the merger would create a duopoly comprised of
Verizon and AT&T that controlled 75 percent of the wireless market and 90
percent of the profits that dwarfed Sprint. As a result the wireless
market would lose all semblance of real competition and Sprint would be
forced to sell out to Verizon or be crushed out of existence.
.
But last month, the U.S. Department of Justice gave Sprint a reprieve by
filing suit in the District of Columbia, seeking an injunction against the
merger on the ground that it was anticompetitive and violated federal
antitrust law. On Sept. 6 Sprint filed its own antitrust lawsuit in
federal court seeking to block the merger.
.
The FCC, which also must approve the deal, has expressed some concern over
the merger, but has yet to make a final determination on whether to allow
the transfer of wireless licenses required by the deal. While AT&T can
fight the lawsuits in court, it looks like the legal damage is fatal.
.
However, perhaps another deal could be forged from the ruins of this one.
The way it looks right now, the market would be well-served if Sprint and
T-Mobile combine forces to take on AT&T and Verizon in the U.S. wireless
business. Not only will it create a more competitive environment, but
Verizon and AT&T might just start to worry. With the current state of
competition in the industry, that wouldnt be a bad thing.
.
Read on to find out why Sprint and T-Mobile USA should merge.
