Sprint has competed by giving stuff away for free. My wife and I have free (latest) iPhones and are on a plan that’s cheaper than anything their competitors offer. Everything else about them is objectively worse (features, reliability, service coverage). I definitely believe they would not be in business much longer, which is why I’m excited about the merger. If they had a chance of surviving in a meaningful, competitive way, then I’d definitely disagree with a merger, but I’ve not seen a strong argument that they would.
