      "T-Mobile will offer access to 5G without added rates and the carrier promises it won’t change pricing for three years..."

      As a T-Mobile customer currently, I hope this eventual price change only applies to new customers and not current/legacy Sprint customers. If that's the case, then it's understandable and I'll be more than happy to enjoy the Sprint network merged considering I had ZERO issues with Sprint's network when I was with them (they would raise prices on me without saying anything and that's why I left them).

        Anonymous, 02 Apr 2020Ohhh great news... Now start the layoffs... Great!!!!!!!!!... moreNot necessarily. Boost is acquired by Dish so those employees will now work for Boost by Dish technically speaking and then those who work for Sprint are now going to work for T-Mobile. There will be a very lengthy transition but TECHNICALLY no layoffs are necessary.

          Qwericus, 02 Apr 2020I hope that what you said was /s (sarcasm), as you should k... moreYou probably thinking about mmWave 5G. IIRC, T-Mobile already deployed the low band 5G last year across US. It's not as fast as mmWave one but it is still 5G nonetheless.

            techguy, 02 Apr 2020great news cheaper 5gI hope that what you said was /s (sarcasm), as you should know by now that is not the case. To get 5G at this time you'll have to spend for an upper-tier or flagship phone, be living in a metropolitan city greater than 500,000 people, and pay more for this newfangled service. In time, yes 5G will get cheaper but not now.

                  Anonymous, 02 Apr 2020I'm sorry and I'm not management people, but isn't board of... moreYes, Board of Director or Chairman technically have higher power and bigger than CEO and CEO has to answer to Board of Director if needed, and Chairman is the head, though CEO is the ultimate boss in a company.

                      I'm sorry and I'm not management people, but isn't board of director bigger than CEO? Hence Legere not stepping down, instead going up right?
