Edward C. Baig, Mike Snider and Brett MolinaSprint and T-Mobile have moved yet another step closer to a merger, and it could lead to consumers paying more for wireless plans.
Both companies say joining forces will benefit consumers by expanding access to next-generation 5G cellular networks and offer better service nationwide. The merger will also create new jobs, the companies said, adding more than 3,500 additional full-time U.S. employees in the first year and 11,000 more people by 2024.
Boost founder Peter Adderton, a vocal critic of the merger from the outset, claims such brands helped suppress prices for the kind of budget-focused customer who gravitates toward these and other prepaid providers. "This outcome puts consumers at risk. The states put on a strong case, and the DOJ's proposed remedy is still very risky – at best we are losing a competitor today, in the hope of getting one back later," said John Bergmayer, legal director at consumer advocacy group Public Knowledge, in a statement.

WSJ News Exclusive | Federal Judge Expected to Clear Way for T-Mobile and Sprint MergerA federal judge is expected to approve T-Mobile US’s merger with Sprint, according to people familiar with the matter, clearing the way for the two wireless rivals to combine and overcoming a state antitrust challenge. The states that claim to be protecting consumers from higher phone bills are the same ones who gladly take measures that result in higher energy bills. Higher prices ahead? Telecom cos shouldn't be merging or making money until they clean up their tech. I've never seen an industry that makes so much money selling crap. Hackable phones, dangerous apps, technology that works when it's close enough to a tower. What a racket.
