Despite the recommendation, a decision to bring such a case has not been made. That authority rests with the DOJ’s top antitrust official, Makan Delrahim. A spokesman for DOJ declined to comment. Both the Justice Department and the FCC have been reviewing the proposed merger between T-Mobile, operated by Germany’s Deutsche Telekom, and Sprint, run by the Japanese conglomerate SoftBank, since the companies announced their plans in April 2018.

Opinion | Blessing the T-Mobile-Sprint MergerOpinion: By joining forces, T-Mobile and Sprint will be better positioned to compete against wireless leaders Verizon and AT&T in the 5G era I’m pretty happy with my TMobile service as it is.
