T-Mobile and Sprint Are Cleared to Merge

#TMobile #Sprint #Merger #ATT #Verizon #Dish A bigger-is-better mentality has swept the tech and media industries over the past 18 months, as companies have spent $200 billion on a series of megamergers that have reshaped the American business landscape. The Trump administration has  mostly  been a cheerleader for the corporate supersizing. And on Tuesday a federal judge ruled in favor of T-Mobile’s planned takeover of Sprint. The long-in-the-works merger would combine the nation’s third- and fourth-largest wireless carriers, creating a telecommunications giant to take on AT&T and Verizon. The new company, to be called T-Mobile, would have about 100 million customers. The deal has come about as digital technology has woven itself into the fabric of daily life, changing how people use their phones and forcing wireless carriers, television networks and movie studios to move away from the analog systems that once dominated the entertainment and communications industries.
