Sprint joins fight against AT&T x T-Mobile merger

So, authorities are fighting against the incoming merger between AT&T and T-Mobile...

I've never hear this thing coming when that kind of merger comes with controversies....

And now, another one joins the fight against the AT&T x T-Mobile merger....

It's probably Sprint Nextel...

According to Sprint, if that merger of these two companies is accomplished, there will be less competition, high costs, restrict access to handsets, and it will ruin the future of these companies.

Last week, the Department of Justice filed an antitrust lawsuit seeking to stop this controversial merger. That suit claims that this merger would violate antitrust laws that were made to prevent such monopolies and duopolies.

So what now? Is there any way to stop these two companies to collide each other?
