The DOJ approved the Sprint/T-Mobile merger, but victory is not yet assured. State litigators are holding out, trapping the deal in political warfare. jennifersaba

The U.S. Department of Justice on July 26 approved the merger of T-Mobile US and Sprint, but added conditions. Under the settlement terms, the companies are required to sell Sprint’s prepaid business and some spectrum assets. Dish Network has agreed to buy them for $5 billion.

Additionally, T-Mobile and Sprint must provide at least 20,000 cell sites and hundreds of retail locations to Dish while giving the satellite-television company access to T-Mobile’s network for seven years. Thirteen state attorneys general and their counterpart in Washington, D.C. sued to block the merger in June. Five of the states have agreed to the settlement proposed by the DOJ.

T-Mobile US, controlled by Deutsche Telekom, and Sprint, owned by SoftBank, agreed to merge in a $26 billion deal on April 29 last year.
