T-Mobile Sprint merger passes court challenge

A federal court case against US telecom company T-Mobile's merger with Sprint, brought by the states of New York and California, argued that the merger would decrease competition and violate anti-trust laws, but the case has been awarded to T-Mobile since even after the merger the companies will form only the third-largest mobile carrier in the US and will be able to compete better with larger rivals Verizon and AT&T.
