The companies believe that this merger will put them on a better standing to take on their rivals Verizon and AT&T mostly in the deployment of 5G network. CEO Marcelo in his perspective said that the difference between 4G and 5G is the difference between black and white TV and colour TV. And only the new T-mobile will have the network and spectrum capacity to quickly create a broad and deep broadband 5G network in the first few years of the 5G innovation cycle, says CEO John Legere.
This merger has given them second place in America’s largest telecoms carrier.
