The Master Deal Negotiators at T-Mobile

The Master Deal Negotiators at T-Mobile. If the acquisition doesn't get regulatory approval, according to the terms of the agreement, T-Mobile gets:
1. $3 Billion (That's Billion with a "B")
2. Wireless Spectrum from AT&T
3. A Roaming Agreement

So is there any downside for T-Mobile? I don't think there is any downside, just upside. AT&T bears all of the risk as best as I can tell. How could T-Mobile have said no?

What are Sprint & Verizon's next moves? Does Verizon acquire Sprint? They say they aren't interested and I question whether the Regulators would allow two deals of this size to be completed in succession.

So does Sprint go out and buy and integrate all of the other smaller regional and niche players out there like Leap & MetroPCS? Can they raise the cash and can they make it work?

Or will someone who's an outsider like Google come along and acquire Sprint to get into the wireless business?

Should be interesting. Stay tuned for more developments. Thanks for checking out my post.
