Sprint Statement on Cellular South's Antitrust Lawsuit Against AT&T
This afternoon, Cellular South, the country’s largest privately held wireless company, announced that it had filed an antitrust lawsuit against AT&T. The litigation asks the Court to block AT&T’s bid to takeover T-Mobile. Headquartered in Ridgeland, Mississippi, the company serves approximately 870,000 customers in Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee.
Vonya B. McCann, Sprint’s Senior Vice President of Government Affairs, issued the following statement to media:
“Today Cellular South stands with the U.S. Department of Justice, seven state Attorneys General and Sprint in asking the Courts to protect American consumers from the harms to competition, innovation, and pricing that likely would result if AT&T is allowed to takeover T-Mobile. As this growing chorus of opposition shows, this proposed transaction violates antitrust law and is not in the best interests of consumers and the American economy.”
