Well i have heard about this rumor for like the last two years. Deutsche Telekom has been thinking about buying Sprint for the longest time, ever since they started going down after buying out Nextel. Honestly I think it would help Tmobile US and give Verizon and AT&T a much better run for their money. Plus with sprints plans, combined with Tmobile I would be extremely happy. But the biggest problem here is that Spriing is CDMA while tmo is GSM. Sprint is the only one that is not getting on the GSm bandwagon with LTE so for TMo and Sprint to merge is kind of a long shot. I would imagine they would end up changing names to something else but staying in the market as an indepent telecom.

who knows what will happen, the rumor has been around for a while. i guess i could see it working well for consumers. im not a fan of sprint and it sucks in my area but adding those towers to the tmo network would be a great addition and then they would have closer to the amount of coverage that att has. sprint has some decent phones but mostly just the Pre, Pixi, and the Hero.

I agree. I think it'll be good both ways. I hope they don't make the name some stupid name and with sprint testing 4g maybe T-Mobile will benefit from it. We'll see what, if anything, happens in the next few weeks. Rumors are saying that it would go down in the next few weeks.
