U.S. antitrust regulators have cleared T-Mobile’s
$26.5 billion takeover of rival Sprint, leaving
just three major cellphone companies, while
creating a smaller competitor in satellite-TV

Sprint customers will be eventually transferred
to the new T-Mobile, but that transition will take

might not see many changes. However, because
the goal of the takeover is to roll out a next-
generation “5G” network, subscribers of both
could ultimately see faster service.
