The mobile market is a battle between giants.Combined 3rd and 4th careers in the US
No matter how much 5G you get, you can't live if your mobile phone charges go up.
After more than a year, the US FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has finally given a go-ahead to the merger of T-Mobile and Sprint. According to data earlier this year, the new company (commonly known as New T-Mobile), which will be formed by the merger of the two companies, will become the second largest carrier in the United States. By the way, the top market share of Verizon is 40.9%. New T-Mobile is 29.4%, close to 3rd place AT & T (28.9%).
Oligopoly may progress ...?
However, T-Mobile and Sprint have more than 20,000 mobile phone sites and multiple retailers as part of the transaction rules, which is not a trade-off that the Justice Ministry agreed earlier this year, "If you keep this, you can merge." The store will be sold to Dish, which has the fourth largest share in Japan.
Dish was originally opposed to the merger of the two companies. It even comes with an extra service that allows you to access the New T-Mobile network for seven years before building your own service range.
However, the scariest thing for consumers is that the merger of T-Mobile and Sprint will raise wireless communication prices across the United States. T-Mobile CEO John Legere has promised not to raise prices for three years after the merger, but it's now accepted that prices will rise in a non-competitive market. The data also suggests that.
If there is another benefit to the merger, it will speed up 5G network deployment. Even before the merger was approved, T-Mobile and Sprint have been working on a complementary 5G strategy.
T-Mobile has focused on low-band sub 6GHz and millimeter-wave, and Sprint has focused on building mid-band 2.5GHz. Since the two companies will merge, the joint network should be capable of high-speed and long-distance transmission.
Opponents "I see a rising future"
However, there are also deep-rooted opposition to the merger. Jeffrey Starks, FCC Commissioner, said:
Former FCC member Jessica Rosenwolsel also said in a statement to Gizmodo that she had the same opinion as Stark.
We still don't know how the merger will affect current T-Mobile and Sprint users. T-Mobile's Uncarrier event will be held on November 11th, so I'd like to wait for more information to be released there.
