T-Mobile and Sprint recently joined forces as one company, keeping the name T-Mobile. According to Business Wire, the combination of the two companies “will be a force for positive change in the U.S. wireless, video, and broadband industries.”

In 2014, T-Mobile merged with MetroPCS to solidify their spot in their 4G era, and the results were positive. The merge created job growth and business opportunities for the U.S economy.

Just like the 4G era, the 5G network will create better opportunities for consumers and businesses

“The new company will be able to light up a broad and deep 5G network faster than either company could separately,” says Business Wire. Before the merge, T-Mobile steered LTE faster than Verizon and AT&T combined. Now that T-Mobile and Sprint are combined, they are expected to do the same.

Business Wire teases us with amazing benefits that 5G will come with like reality heads-up displays, real-time information about the things and people around you, and ear-pieces with real-time language translation.

Along with a fast network, the merge will provide better quality, lower costs for consumers and businesses, create competition, and “will employ more people than both companies separately and create thousands of new American jobs.”

The merge will provide better quality

The President and Chief Executive Officer of T-Mobile says, “This combination will create a fierce competitor with the network scale to deliver more for consumers and businesses in the form of lower prices, more innovation, and a second-to-none network experience – and do it all so much faster than either company could on its own.”

The Chief Executive Officer of Sprint says,  “We intend to bring this same competitive disruption as we look to build the world’s best 5G network that will make the U.S. a hotbed for innovation and will redefine the way consumers live and work across the U.S., including in rural America. As we do this, we will force our competitors to follow suit, as they always do, which will benefit the entire country. I am confident this combination will spur job creation and ensure opportunities for Sprint employees as part of a larger, stronger combined organization.”
