T-Mobile officially completes merger with Sprint, CEO John Legere steps down
FYI, the coverage for the 2 networks will remain separate for now and will be gradually merged into a single network over the next few years. T-mobile is offering a $15/month 2GB prepaid plan as part of the sweetener to get regulators to approve the merger and AT&T has followed suit with a competing plan. Dish Network has been earmarked as the future 4th carrier for the USA and will be getting access to spectrum as part of the merger deal.<p>In my own opinion this merger is a good thing. Sprint holds huge amounts of spectrum but has absolutely failed to create a competitive network with it. It was a misallocation of a precious natural resource.
