AT&T filed motions in federal court to dismiss Sprint’s and C Spire Wireless’s (Cellular South) challenges to its $39 billion acquisition of T-Mobile.
AT&T argues that the two companies do not have the appropriate legal standing to challenge the deal. “The Sprint and Cellular South complaints should be dismissed, as both are an obvious attempt to use the court to improve their own strategic interests,” said Wayne Watts, AT&T’s general counsel. He said Sprint believes it, not AT&T, should be allowed to buy T-Mobile, while C Spire Wireless is trying to limit competition in its regional market. Sprint and C Spire Wireless vowed not to back down.
