Kids use their smart phones to contact their friends and family. For example, they can make video calls with Skype. That’s why parents would need a Skype hack tool to find out what their kids are up to or if they are contacting strangers and they are in danger. |
It seemed like Sprint and T-Mobile were finally going to join forces earlier this week before it was reported that Sprint’s parent company, SoftBank Group, wanted to call it off. Seemingly, Softbank Group and T-Mobile’s owner Deutsche Telekom were unable to agree on the ownership ratio for the partnership. Given its greater userbase, T-Mobile likely wants the larger stake.
It was speculated that Softbank would seek to end negotiations earlier this week, but, according to The Wall Street Journal, T-Mobile has a new offer on the table that Sprint is considering. The Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the offer, said that T-Mobile CEO John Legere (seen above) and Sprint CEO Marcelo Claure met on Wednesday, where Legere reiterated that Deutsche Telekom didn’t want the deal to fall apart.
T-Mobile has allegedly now made a new proposal, the terms of which aren’t known, and it’s said that a deal could be a reached within weeks (though it’s not the first time we’ve heard that this particular partnership was close to being settled).
Sprint and T-Mobile currently lag behind AT&T and Verizon in US subscribers, and they’d fall short even when combined (based on recent figures from Fierce Wireless). By banding together, the two companies would nonetheless stand a greater chance of penetrating the current duopoly, with a combined subscriber base of around 122 million compared to AT&T’s estimated 136 million and Verizon’s 147 million users. What’s more, T-Mobile and Sprint would each lose a competitor — meaning they would no longer have to resort to desperate attempts to outdo one another.
