Sprint was a dying company with horrific treatment to the customers and loads of empty promises. T-Mobile will strengthen this failing company so that consumers can have more for what they pay.

Why would we applaud Dish using the Colorado government to get a foothold in the wireless industry? This isn't capitalism. This is cronyism.

Holy shit

So what happens to the stock price?

Damnit now it’s time to change over to Boost mobile 🤦🏾‍♂️

So... Tint Mobile? TintMobile

The best thing that happen to sprint 🙄

Stop monopolies !

We go through cycles of merging industry Giants to make Mega industry Giants. We then Decide it's much too big and we break them up again. I think this one will be a nightmare.

I wonder how their gonna fuck us over now? 🙄

If t mobile raise my price, I will drop them like a bad habit

Somebody got a kickback. When I mean somebody I meant Some Body of Government.

$$$$$$$

Honestly they aren’t even a monopoly. Had AT&T & Verizon merges, that’s scary. But those two, maybe they’ll form a company with actual data.

So much for the good T-Mobile pre paid plans....

Congrats on making one big garbage company with crappy service?

Sorry T-Mobile customers you are now screwed with Sprint.

I just hope less choices don't drive the price up

Tried them both. They sucked for me. Maybe together they can get a single somewhere outside of a city.

Antitrust laws are for gumps anyways, amirite? Gotta look out for the billionaires

Fantastic News for consumers!!! Less choices.

So all the donations, trips to the hotels and buckets of greasy grift paid off .

Trust me I have had sprint... there is no worry about them doing anything substantial no matter how big they get...

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.
