T-Mobile is asking to roll back commitments it made in exchange for approval to buy Sprint
Less than three months into the life of the “new” T-Mobile US Inc., the self-proclaimed maverick mobile-phone carrier is already asking to roll back commitments it made in exchange for approval to buy its smaller rival Sprint Corp.
Although T-Mobile promised to create 1,000 full-time jobs in California, the company said Tuesday that the state can’t dictate hiring. The COVID-19 crisis “makes the imposition of a mandate to create additional jobs infeasible and unwarranted,” it said in a filing with the commission. As the lone holdout among the states, California granted conditional approval of the merger in mid-April, two weeks after the merger took place.
