Sprint’s lawsuit whereas the firm is quote: “Sprint opposes AT&T’s proposed takeover of T-Mobile,” Susan Z. Haller, VP of litigation at Sprint, said in a statement. “With today’s legal action, we are continuing that advocacy on behalf of consumers and competition, and expect to contribute our expertise and resources in proving that the proposed transaction is illegal” – whilst sounding noble in nature is actually tragically laughable.
Think about it for a moment… the reason why it is laughable is that it took the company this long to get around to filing the suit in the first place (which meant that all the reasons why it supposedly filed it didn’t just appear as a result of this position that they’ve now taken… they are / have / were and will be there regardless of this noble-cause that they’re now taking up!?)
In sum; this is a classic example of everything that is wrong with America and a major reason why the country has found itself in some of the myriad of challenges that it is facing (currently). Hint, hint: Greed and a focus on the profit-motive vs. actually doing the right thing (which if this lawsuit was actually the ‘right thing’ to do, Sprint would have filed it months ago… as would have other concerned citizens be they corporate and/or private…)
