Both the companies put an end to the extensive speculation around the possibility of a transaction
Sprint has ceased talks to merge with T-Mobile as the companies were unable to find mutually agreeable terms.
Sprint President and CEO and SoftBank Board member Marcelo Claure said: 'While we couldn't reach an agreement to combine our companies, we certainly recognize the benefits of scale through a potential combination. However, we have agreed that it is best to move forward on our own. We know we have significant assets, including our rich spectrum holdings, and are accelerating significant investments in our network to ensure our continued growth. As convergence in the connectivity marketplace continues, we believe significant opportunities exist to establish strong partnerships across multiple industries. We are determined to continue our efforts to change the wireless industry and compete fiercely. We look forward to continuing to take the fight to the duopoly and newly emerging competitors.”
