Nonprofit CEO: “A Merger With Dividends For Military And Veterans”

“Washington state has long been home to a vibrant tech sector, with T-Mobile as a major player in that industry. Nationally, we’re beginning to slip behind other countries when it comes to 5G deployment. This merger will get us back on track to lead on 5G, just like we’ve led other technology advancements. I’m looking forward to see what the new T-Mobile can do, and I appreciate all that they are doing for veterans.”

Political Commentator John Feehery: T-Mobile/Sprint Will Bring More Competition and 5G Across America

WSJ Article: Why Being First in 5G Matters

The Ubers, the Airbnbs, the Netflixes of the world came about because of 4G,” says Rob McDowell, a Republican former Federal Communications Commission commissioner. “No one foresaw the app economy coming. What’s exciting about 5G is that nobody can really fathom what’s going to happen.”

Being slow to 5G, he says, would put “the U.S. at a competitive disadvantage globally.”

Chairman of The Latino Coalition: T-Mobile/Sprint will improve the business environment for Latinos

The New T-Mobile promises to help ensure that the opportunity for upward economic mobility that comes with business ownership is accessible to all Latinos in the United States by creating new opportunities for entrepreneurship and innovation, helping expand the reach of existing Hispanic businesses and supporting their operations. This will measurably improve the business environment for Latinos and create wealth for this growing segment of the population, to the benefit of the American economy.

Republic Wireless CEO support T-Mobile/Sprint merger

“Ultimately, a stronger and more affordable third network, run by leaders with a strong track record of openness towards partnering with new entrants, will provide the necessary foundation for the development and delivery of next-generation mobile products and services.

Republic Wireless supports the merger of T-Mobile and Sprint because healthy competition in the wireless industry is driven far more by strategy, openness, and economics than just the number of national facilities-based carriers.”

Chris Chuang, CEO, Republic Wireless

State Attorneys General of Utah and New Mexico

“In this day and age, it’s rare for elected officials from our two parties to agree on anything, so it is reassuring when we find common ground on something that has the potential to serve our constituents, protect the marketplace and benefit our nation…. [W]e encourage policymakers and regulators to approve the T-Mobile-Sprint merger.”

NENA, the National Emergency Number Association

“NENA does not typically comment in [merger] proceedings, but chooses to do so in this proceeding simply because of the work that T-Mobile is doing in the 9-1-1 space. Such work, if carried over to the combined companies, will benefit T-Mobile customers when dialing 9-1-1 from their mobile devices.”

CEO Brian Fontes, PhD

Crown Castle

“The combination of these two smaller nationwide wireless providers will advance the national priority of fast-tracking 5G deployment and create a company with the spectrum and other necessary resources to help the U.S. win the global race for 5G leadership. We anticipate that, in addition to consumers and enterprise consumers, Crown Castle and other companies throughout the mobile wireless supply chain can benefit from New T-Mobile’s investment in its next-generation wireless network.”

T-Mobile’s merger with Sprint will be a success, according to this ex-MetroPCS chief

By Daniel Petrov, Phone Arena, September 18, 2018

Deriving from his vast experience as ex-VP of MetroPCS Corporate Engineering & Network Operations during the merger with T-Mobile, Mr Ed Chao is very optimistic that the merger with Sprint will be successful as well. MetroPCS was gobbled by T-Mobile five years ago, and it has been smooth sailing, he mentioned in an interview at the MWC Americas 2018 expo.

T-Mobile’s loveable CEO John Legere, it turned out, first met with the salespeople at MetroPCS to discuss with them job safety issues which were a boost for morale after the merger.

It was an amazing experience for us. Strategically, we were a great fit... I think he’s got the capability to do it again. It’s just what he does and it’s now baked into the DNA of the company. Just from my own personal experience, they’ve got a track record that is definitely a positive.

The proposed merger of Sprint and T-Mobile is currently on the docket, as the FCC froze its self-imposed deadline to comment on the deal, in order to obtain some more data from the two carriers.

The offshoots like Boost, MetroPCS and Virgin, however, are already feeling safe for the future, as T-Mobile execs confirmed that the pre-paid crowd will continue to exist in its current form even after the merger.
