Something interesting happened when T-Mobile and Sprint filed their intention to merge with the FCC.
They said a merger would strengthen them and let them compete head to head with competitors like ATT Mobility and Verizon Wireless.
But wait.
I thought they already were successfully competing.
So, are they, or aren&t theyThe truth is somewhere in the blurry middle.
Over the last five years, both T-Mobile and Sprint have gone through major changes.
Five years ago, both of them were smaller and insignificant competitors in the wireless industry.CEO John Legere saved T-MobileThen John Legere was brought in as CEO of T-Mobile and things started to change.
When he stepped in, the company was crashing and burning.
It missed the changeover from 2G to 3G and they were suffering because of that judgement call.
