In other news, through-out this whole month MetroPCS and T-Mobile have been in negotiation of the $1.5 Billion merger where T-Mobile is to acquire MetroPCS to expand thei 4G LTE network. MetroPCS shareholders who owned stock before March 11, 2013 will vote on the deal April 12, 2013. It appears however, a little more than a formality is at ahand, as the merging companies have already designated a new executive arrangement to lead the combined ship.
In an earlier announcement given by the board, T-Mobile revealed it will contain 11 members, including two current MetroPCS directors (W. Michael Barnes and James Perry) and Deutsche Telekom CEO/CFO Timotheus Höttges.
MetroPCS’s board has already unanimously suggested that stockholders approve the merger.
The FCC approved the merger a few days ago, stating,
“the deal will benefit millions of American consumers and help the U.S maintain the global leadership in mobile it has regained in recent years.”
