T-Mobile Is On Track to Benefit From Sprint Merger
Of course, T-Mobile CFO Peter Osvaldik likes to talk about getting rid of the age-old trade-off that consumers have had to make in wireless: getting the best value or the best network.

That message should especially resonate now as consumers deal with rising prices and rivals like AT&T and Verizon raise fees and prices.
Since it acquired the 2.5 GHz assets from Sprint, T-Mobile has been going gangbusters on 5G, to the point that it now covers 225 million PoPs and is well on its way to reach 260 million by the end of this year. By the end of 2023, it expects to reach a population of 300 million with the “Ultra Capacity” 5G that relies on 2.5 GHz.
