Dish Files Petition to Deny T-Mobile/Spint Merger

I doubt it matters, but interesting nonetheless.

wonder what angle charlie is playing?
maybe he still wants to buy one of them for his 5g

I thought the merger was already a done deal.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

They (like other companies) will object to anything that may give them any type of competition. Not surprised at all.

Personally I like the idea of this Merger. T-Mobile has really shaken up the cell industry.

Nope. It has to go through a number of regulatory approvals still.

Nope. It has to go through a number of regulatory approvals still.

yeah, the Sinclair/Tribune merger was further proof of it, it failed cause Sinclair was unwilling to sale some channels per FCC/DOJ approval of the merger.

also, people thought the same for AT&T and Time Warner after a judge ruled that the 2 can merge, only for the DOJ to file their own notion to make this merger not happen.

Follow the money trail. The rich stay rich. Charlie ain't even on the rich list.

With Sprint and T-Mobile together, will that shakeup continue? I seriously doubt that.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I don't. All the other companies will be quaking in their boots.

 

[wormil]

Good, Sprint is a turd. I don't want it anywhere near my TMobile account.

Because Charlie thought he would have T mobile.

Charlie's son even thought they would have T mobile. He told me that at CES in 2012 or 2013.
