US Justice Department tells T-Mobile, Sprint it has concerns about merger deal: sources

REUTERS: The U.S. Justice Department has told T-Mobile US Inc and Sprint Corp it has concerns about their proposed US$26 billion merger in its current structure, sources familiar with the matter said on Tuesday, although no final decision has been made.

T-Mobile has defended the proposed merger, saying the combined company would be better and faster at building 5G, the next generation of wireless, to compete with industry leaders AT&T Inc and Verizon Communications Inc. T-Mobile US Chief Executive John Legere was in Washington on Tuesday and has meetings later this week at the FCC, two people briefed on the matter said.Legere said on Twitter it was"simply untrue," as had been reported, that Justice Department staff had told the companies the deal was unlikely to be approved in its current form. The Justice Department declined to comment.

A group of eight Democratic U.S. senators and independent Senator Bernie Sanders urged the Justice Department and FCC to reject the deal, saying monthly bills could rise as much as 10 percent.
