For Immediate Release

STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER MICHAEL O’RIELLY 
ON U.S. DISTRICT COURT’S RULING ON 
T-MOBILE-SPRINT MERGER

WASHINGTON, February 11, 2020.  “The New York District Court rightfully came to the same conclusion in considering the T-Mobile and Sprint merger as I did during my review, and I am pleased that the deeply flawed case made by the state Attorneys General was rejected.  It is time to wrap up the entire process and allow these parties to merge.  Once completed, a new T-Mobile will have certain commitments to meet, but I am excited to see it return to its mavericky style, quickly deploying 5G networks and intensely competing in the wireless marketplace, ultimately bearing out our expectation that it will provide consumers with new innovative offerings and a creative choice of packages.”
