T-Mobile and MetroPCS will merge to become the largest low-price telecommunications company in the United States

T-Mobile and MetroPCS will merge to become the largest low-cost telecommunications company in the United States. Mobile operator T-Mobile USA recently stated...

Deutsche Telekom responded that there are still major issues to be implemented and no decision has been made on whether to trade.

T-Mobile USA has 33.2 million users and is the fourth largest mobile operator in the United States. MetroPCS has 9.3 million users, ranking fifth. Even if the two companies merge, their scale will still be smaller than that of the third largest operator Sprint Nextel.

Last year, AT&T, the second largest mobile operator in the United States, prepared to acquire T-Mobile USA for US$9 billion. The deal ultimately fell through due to regulatory pushback.

T-Mobile and MetroPCS are relatively small, so regulators may give them a green light. On Wednesday, Deutsche Telekom will vote on the acquisition. MetroPCS currently has a market value of approximately US$4.2 billion.
