Sprint Asks FCC for Permission to Sell Itself to Softbank
Nice title
Based on the title of this article, it seems like Softbank is some kind of pimp, purchasing Sprint's "Boots" for several billion dollars.
Just sayin'

If the shoe fits?

Well..they did pimp out their network to all those MVNO's, now it's their turn to be tricked out.

AT&T Dips Its Oar In
Nice of AT&T to be watching out for the US consumer that way. By golly, they are such a consumer oriented bunch of guys there trying to make sure OUR spectrum is not controlled by a foreign power.
Of course AT&T misses the point. No company controls spectrum in the US, companies buy the rights to use it eitrher directly from the government is an auction or on the secondary market. Control of it is ultimately in the hands of the people as expressed by through the FCC. It can be made worthless or taken away if necessary. Anyone who doubts this need only try to tune their FM radio to 45 MHz, the original US FM band, to receive a station.

All AT&T is doing is exactly what Sprint did when it tried its failed merger.

AT&T missed the point again, by saying that Softbank a Japanese company, would own too much of US Spectrum, but forgot that T-Mobile is ALSO foreign owned by a German company and they own a ton of spectrum too. So how is this different.

Amazing I didnt know that. Thank you for the information.
WOW! Just how low will they stoop?
Dayum! MOST Everyone at Sprint is a bonified alcoholic! This is a thinly veiled excuse to fly over to Japan on the corporate AmEx and scarf down some spring rolls and butt-chug some hot sake!
This is the same company that in Kansas City refers a local bar as an executive meeting room and jokes openly about having management team builders concerning building up their alcohol tolerence and on Orlando the local Applebees asked them kindly not to come back again formally as a group.
Watch Out Kobe Steakhouse! The tawagoto is gonna hit the fan NOW!

wut... o.O
Who didn't see this coming?
Looks like Japan might end up with a very huge stake in the good old US of A. I hope they at least make things better.
we need to start learning japanese? 🤣
