NEW YORK: T-Mobile US Inc and Sprint Corp are planning to announce commitments to the US government including asset sales and rural-service guarantees to help secure regulatory approval for their US$26.5bil merger, according to sources.
The promises include the sale of one of their prepaid brands, a three-year buildout of their 5G network, and a reiterated pledge not to raise prices while the network is being constructed, said the sources. The new pledges follow talks with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
