Thoughts on T-Mobile Sprint Merger?
There is news today about a potential purchase/merge with Sprint. Thoughts on how this will impact software engineers currently at the company or the company in general? What will this merger do to my stocks or options?
Listening to leadership's position, if accurate, is that any merger would take place on T-Mo's terms. That would only enhance the stock price. Not worried a bit as a T-Mo employee.
Yawn Same old song Hope it doesn't happen. Someone has to keep pricing competitive.
CDMA + GSM ? 😑
My main concern would be a culture shift. Much of our current success is built around a very specific culture and image. Would hate to lose that.
Example of spectrum supported by the Note 8. Most all of the phones for sale over the last 5 years support GSM/LTE bands. I would imagine Sprint phones could use the GSM bands for calling and messaging with a PRL push or a SIM change. It may be able to be done remotely and bam, all Sprint phones support T-Mobile network features. http://www.droid-life.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/galaxy-note-8-lte-bands.jpg
Jobs will be lost, quality of work environment destroyed and overall customer experience remain the same. People at higher up will make millions, the ones at the middle and bottom will drown.
Hard to say. Let's see if it happens.
Any idea what would happen to our stock?
Near term up, longer term new company. Also hard to say. I have lots of shares too
