I know that I read this somewhere... One theory about the approvals taking so long is that but Verizon and AT&T would like to see Sprint, and eventually T-Mobile, go bankrupt and sold off to Verizon and AT&T. According to the theory, a lot of the government politicians have recieved campaign money from one of the Big Two [emoji3577], either Verizon or AT&T, and are trying to cater to their constitutants. While I agree that the theory seems to be a bit far fetched, if the merger is blocked, I could see Sprint going bankrupt and the Sprint assets being sold off to Verizon and AT&T. And I can then see Verizon and AT&T aiming at getting rid of T-Mobile. Also I wouldn't be surprised if Verizon and AT&T have given campaign money to politicians to ensure some favorable results.
