According to Reuters, Deutsche Telekom announced on Thursday, August 8, it still expects the merger of its US unit T-Mobile with Sprint to generate US$43 billion in cost savings even after tweaking the deal to secure antitrust clearance.
The US Department of Justice approved the deal, which was struck more than a year ago, after T-Mobile agreed to sell Sprint’s prepaid business to satellite TV firm Dish Network to create a fourth US wireless carrier.
However, a lawsuit filed by over a dozen US states seeking to halt the deal is still outstanding and although Deutsche Telekom—which owns 63% of T-Mobile—is open to a settlement, it stated it expects the case to go to trial in December.
