美国运营商T-Mobile和Sprint1宣布合并 强强联合剑指5G

Brown Telephone founded in 1899 is a part of the history of Sprint Corporation.

AZUZ: That could include T-Mobile too, if the proposed $26 billion merger2 between Sprint and T-Mobile goes through. The companies say this would make it easier for them to build a fifth generation network across America that's better known as 5G. It would mean faster Internet speeds for mobile devices like smart phones.

The merger would also help the new Sprint/T-Mobile company better compete with Verizon and AT&T who currently dominate the U.S. market. T-Mobile CEO says the merger would create jobs and lower prices for consumers.

Some Wall Street analysts3 say it would have the opposite effects. Either way, it would reduce the number of wireless4 carriers in America. The new company, Verizon, and AT&T would be the only three.

Major business mergers5 need U.S. government approval to go through, though. And that's not a given. The Trump6 administration is currently suing to block AT&T from buying Time Warner. That's the parent company of CNN.
