Proposed Merger of T-Mobile and Sprint
Despite achieving substantial cost reductions and stabilizing its financial position, Sprint has not been able to turn the corner with respect to its core business challenges. Sprint tried a more localized approach in an attempt to drive growth, but continues to face declining subscribers and revenue. Sprint has attempted to position itself as a value leader with aggressive price promotions, but those efforts have not achieved sufficient growth or churn reduction to offset their cost. Given Sprint's network investment needs, negative network perception, and declining share and service revenues, it will continue to face substantial business challenges.
T-Mobile cannot do the 5G strategy without Sprint, and Sprint cannot do it without T-Mobile.
