In this brief, Mark Williams highlights some key points in a court ruling earlier this year on the proposed merger between Sprint and T-Mobile, the third- and fourth-largest mobile network operators (MNOs) in the United States. The merger had been approved by federal agencies, with conditions, but was challenged by a group of US states in federal court on the grounds that it was anticompetitive and ultimately bad for consumers.
