After months of back and forth,\u00a0Sprint and T-Mobile\u2019s merger talks began again\u00a0earlier this month. However, the news was taken with a grain of salt given the unreliable negotiations the two carriers have gone through. It seems our apprehension was undeserved because the two have \u201cmade progress\u201d and a deal may come as soon as next week.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0Reuters<\/i>, the negotiation between Sprint and T-Mobile has been heating up and the two are aiming to reach a deal some time next week. Sprint is primarily owned by Softbank \u00a0(about 84.7-percent) and T-Mobile is primarily owned by Deutsche Telekom (about 63-percent).<\/p>\n

The timing for the deadline is for Deutsche Telekom to consolidate the two companies. It reportedly doesn\u2019t matter if it gains a majority stake<\/p>\n

Past attempted deals between the two companies have fallen apart because a deal that benefits both parties could not be reached. That wasn\u2019t enough to stop them from trying to make a deal happen. Sources close to the situation did tell\u00a0Reuters<\/em>\u00a0that a deal is considered imminent given how past deals have fallen apart, but the negotiations will still continue in hopes the trend is bucked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
