[emoji19] I seriously hope he not meeting to talk possibly merger. If that's the case I wish he just be honest that he bit off more than he could chew with Sprint.

 

I see don't see what both T-Mobile and Sprint merging will do besides increase the total count of customers. The majority of their coverage overlaps minus where T-Mobile has expanded out. Sprint in my eyes doesn't need a merger cause they have the tools to be a force in wireless but I guess in sons eyes things aren't happening fast enough.

Exactly. Both companies are doing well. That's why I would prefer Son acquire Dish over T-Mobile. It will have less hurdle with the FCC, more spectrum for Sprint, and It can compete with ATT/Direct Tv.

 

That's just my opinion.

[IamMrFamous07]

Has Dish done anything with its Spectrum yet? Lol

[NYC126]

He wants a merger for scale and high prices. Honestly Att and Verizon will welcome a merger with the condition of divesting some spectrum. This way, the twins bells will go back to charge customers 150 dollars for 2gigs.

Not sure. What's the deadline for them to use it or lose it?

 

I wonder how the value of that spectrum is holding up... or not.

I think it's next year but I'm not sure. It's crazy to think Dish almost owned Sprint 3 years ago and Dish hasn't done anything with its own spectrum in the last 3 years

[RedSpark]

Yeah. Wow. What a difference a year makes.

And now we have PEOTUS Trump making news about this on Twitter...

 

"Masa (SoftBank) of Japan has agreed to invest $50 billion in the U.S. toward businesses and 50,000 new jobs...."

 

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/806214078465245185

 

"Masa said he would never do this had we (Trump) not won the election!"

Well that was quick...

Hmmmm. Sounds nice but I'm sure here's more to this. He's not going to just "invest" 50bill because he loves the United States.

Looks like Son wants to do some investing in the US to the tune of $50 billion, after meeting with Trump. No mergers or anything

I agree with you on that. That's a lot to invest but I think he still wants T-Mobile and maybe buy saying he'll invest this much he will be allowed to merge. We've known from the past he wants to be a competitor in the US.

That's just my opinion.

If they acquired dish they would have the same problems. They would Still need a massive spend on capex and no resources to pull it off. A T-Mobile merger still offers the same advantages: scale, infrastructure, expanded coverage, etc..... if ATT's media strategy is successful the future maybe a three way merger.

Let me merge with Tmobile, and I will create X amount of jobs. The typical line every executive throws when he wants to buy the competition.

Yessir. This just isn't that cut and dry. Next in he headlines will be how he is going to give the U.S. Billions but not giving Sprint anything (we know why though). He definitely is bribing his way to what he wants to do. Because money talks at the end of the day.

 

The upside is Sprint is up at $8.50!!

Merging companies don't add jobs, most are cut.

I wouldn't be shocked if a few months from now a announcement is made.

I hope not, and Masa has said after the announcement that the money is to invest in U.S start ups.  It's always been his bread and butter.

It didn't look like he blew him off to me. I saw a statement to the press and a handshake.

 

I noticed it said Foxconn on the piece of paper Masa was holding up on the video.

Several years ago, Foxconn was thinking about building a 30 million facility near Harrisburg, Pa to develop robotic equipment.  However, it never was done. Maybe it will now????

Could be. $50 Billion is a huge amount of money.

 

This is an exciting time for Sprint, also because of SoftBank's ownership of ARM and the special access Sprint might have to tech through its parent.

 

Maybe we'll also see better Sprint coverage on Trump properties! Lol.
