Momentum for T-Mobile, Sprint merger Slows Amid New Controversy

Sprint / T-Mobile Merger (NWIDA)Per an article in FierceWireless (link below), While T-Mobile’s proposed merger with Sprint is currently going nowhere due to the nation’s longest government shutdown, other issues are coming up that could complicate what previously appeared to be a likely positive outcome for the companies.
