SoftBank should be thrilled John L is willing to pull their rocks out of the fire!
May they soon have 80% of nothing.

From this morning’s Kansas City Star: Sprint, T-Mobile end merger talks
The bullheadedness of Mayasohsi Son with regards to his refusal to cede ledership to John Legere will eventually be the downfall of Sprint. All Tmobile has to do now is steal Sprint’s customers. Stupid move on the part of Softbank.

There's another article in the local section of the Kansas City Star, which it won't allow me to post here, talking about how devastating the merger would have been for our area, since Tmobile would've likely shuttered the Sprint headquarters. "All those employees with $100,000+ per year salaries would lose their jobs and then home values would decrease, local businesses would be impacted," yadda yadda yadda. The thing they miss is, ok, maybe those people get to hold on to those jobs for a bit longer now. But make no mistake: Sprint is in big trouble. They needed this merger. Eventually those jobs will be going away anyhow, unless Sprint decides to make investments in its network, instead of just pitching itself as the "works for me" budget carrier. That is NOT a good strategy.
No, this one. Finally figured out how to export the link: Sprint merger with T-Mobile could be an economic tragedy for Kansas City area
If they merge, and could boost jobs in more places in the country, wouldn’t it be wise, even if it affects those that thought they had nice security making $100k+. I don’t feel protecting one rich area and denying true economic growth elsewhere is a sufficient reason to throw up cause of concern. And KC has other enterprises that some can migrate into. My opinion.
I agree. As a resident of the KC region I care about the local economy, but I disagree with The Star on this one. These folks don’t really have job security. The end of the merger just delayed the inevitable. I know a handful of people who work at the Sprint HQ and they are wonderful people. People with families and members at my church. But I hope for their sake that they see the writing on the wall sooner than later. Some have already relocated elsewhere for other jobs. But 6 figure salaries aren’t easy to come by anymore, so I hope they start looking now.
i wonder if Sprint is now willing to sell themselves out to either Google or Apple so that way, one of the companies responsible for Android and iOS can sell their own phones without a third party.
I don’t think they will sell. They wouldn’t even merge unless Mayasohsi Son was in charge. Unless maybe he is reaping every last drop of profit he can, then sell out. I mean, obviously they don’t have any kind of strategy to move forward on their own
Wait, I thought I read from someone here that Sprint was doing so well...at least in the "heartland" of Georgia?

Yep, it definitely “works for him!”
I wonder if being a NASCAR sponsor did them in!Wait, I thought I read from someone here that Sprint was doing so well...at least in the "heartland" of Georgia?
Does that individual even come around anymore?Wait, I thought I read from someone here that Sprint was doing so well...at least in the "heartland" of Georgia?
Yeah, Son wants to control the merged company. Charter might sell. Not sure who else would.
Outcome will be the same. Charlie won’t cede control to John Legere, either
John Legere wants to take on the WORLD!
He already is, and he is doing a pretty good job of it
