), which is buying assets divested from the merger. In the deal, Dish pledged to bring 2,000 jobs to the state and T-Mobile pledged to deploy the next generation of wireless 5G across much of Colorado, the state attorney general’s office said in a statement.

Colorado is the second state to defect from the New York-led lawsuit to stop the merger. Mississippi said on Oct. 9 that it would withdraw from the legal challenge. Under the Justice Department deal to win antitrust approval for the merger, the companies agreed to divest Sprint’s prepaid businesses, including Boost Mobile, to Dish, and provide it with access to 20,000 cell sites and hundreds of retail locations. That deal is worth about $5 billion.

T-Mobile CEO John Legere tweeted that it was “great news” that Colorado was dropping off the lawsuit. “CO knows that New T-Mobile will create jobs and deliver 5G to rural areas of the state-and beyond!” he tweeted.
