AT&T to Get More Sprint Data in T-Mobile Case, Court Rules

Sprint Nextel must provide AT&T with updated internal documents relevant to AT&T’s defense against a U.S. lawsuit seeking to block its purchase of T-Mobile USA, the US District Court ruled.

Sprint must turn over all documents requested by AT&T that the wireless carrier hasn’t already given the Justice Department, including data on its recent addition of Apple’s iPhone, U.S. Special Master Richard Levie in Washington said. Levie gave Sprint until Nov. 21 to meet AT&T’s requests. “AT&T is entitled to discover what effect the iPhone and other events of the past few months have had on Sprint’s relevant market share, a part of the government’s” case, Levie said, adding that the documents Sprint gave the Justice Department are more than six months old.
