T-Mobile and Sprint are once again in talks to merge, according to reports.
The country’s third- and fourth-largest cellphone carriers have reportedly begun informal discussions to explore a deal, according to Bloomberg News, after the parent companies of both firms this week publicly expressed an openness to tying the knot with other companies.
Speculation about a possible merger involving T-Mobile and Sprint has been swirling for months, amid expectations that regulators under President Trump may be more willing to allow a combination than they were under President Barack Obama.
Telecom and cable companies have also been forbidden from negotiating mergers and acquisitions in recent months because of a high-stakes airwaves auction run by the Federal Communications Commission. Now that the auction has ended, analysts widely expect a frenzy of merger announcements in the coming months.
