SoftBank and Deutsche Telekom?
Apparently 80% of Sprint is owned by a company named SoftBank and a lot of T-mobile is owned by a company named Deutsche Telekom? Even if the merger were to go through would it really be to benefit America or these foreign companies? Is SoftBank and Deutsche Telekom well known outside of the US? I think I saw SoftBank in Japan...but that was awhile ago...
Deutsche Telekom is the parent company of T-Mobile international which holds all T-Mobile companies world wide. Deutsche Telekom is the AT&Atlanta equivalent in Germany and big player in European telco market. It’s partially owned by the German government as majority shareholder. Pretty well known and public record
Part of the merger process is going through a government approval process that involves foreign investment is US companies
SoftBank is Japan’s version of Berkshire Hathaway I believe. They’re big into robotics and other areas. They purchased Boston Dynamics from google.
