IDG Contributor Network: Will T-Mobile, Sprint actually merge this time?
T-Mobile USA and Sprint have been talking about merging several times over the last several years, but they never actually make it happen. Word is that they are at it once again. So, will they have any more luck this time pulling off a merger? If you were an odds-maker, what would you say the chances are of this merger happening?
Well, some things have changed, both in the wireless industry and with the two companies themselves. So, perhaps this time around they can come to terms. If they can, that’s great, but that’s only stage one. Stage two, they would still need to convince regulators to approve the merger. So, the T-Mobile, Sprint merger still has two big mountains to climb.
