SoftBank on course to buy T-Mobile

Well they ruined E-Mobile so it will be nothing but bad news for T-Mobile customers...

wow, Son really is going to town....... He should have done all this when JPY was 20% more expensive.

Why not target developing markets?

Let him get on with it. One bad network buying another bad network does not make a good network in either country.

Ok, so when can we Softbank in the USA with the same rates as my WHITE PLAN here in Japan??

I think you know the answer to that question Elbuda.

They may have trouble getting permission since a merger between Sprint and T-Mobile would be anti-competitive. SoftBank should know better.

I think a HUGE hurdle for a Softbank-backed Sprint buyout of T-Mobile USA is that Sprint uses CDMA digital cellular, while T-Mobile uses GSM digital cellular. That incompatibility makes the merger cost much higher than normal.

Good on ya SoftBank - you shine!

Japan Inc.- buying out a company near you.

The new company will be a monster of network technologies - Sprint has iDEN, CDMA2000 and WiMAX and T-Mobile have EDGE, UMTS and LTE

Personally, I think ALL these carriers suck, I have to find THE perfect carrier in ANY country!
