Sprint and T-Mobile's Wedding Bell Blues

摘要

When T-Mobile US Inc. and Sprint Corp. announced on April 29 their $26.5 billion plan to merge, they argued that the combined entity could create a more formidable rival to the biggest wireless providers: Verizon Communications Inc. and AT&T Inc. Indeed, the merged pair would be able to pool their research and development spending and wireless spectrum rights to more quickly offer customers 5G service, the next generation of superhigh-speed wireless communications. Trouble is, few seem to believe this marriage of convenience will bear fruit.
