T-Mobile, SunCom deal OKd

T-Mobile will be happy to pick up SunCom’s 1.1 million customers, driving them closer to the 30-million mark. They’re still a long way from Sprint, the nation’s No. 4 carrier at 54 million subscribers, but every little bit helps. There is no word currently whether T-Mobile will assimilate the SunCom brand or let it stand as is. The deal won’t be finalized until at least the end of the month, so we likely won’t hear anything until then at the earliest. [Associated Press]]]>
