About nine months ago
Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son said he wanted to buy Sprint
because he was tired of poor U.S. Internet service.
The FCC has approved that merger.

which will provide more spectrum for Sprint to work with.
Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T competing in 4G LTE or faster
wireless Internet services would almost be like a real market!
Today’s the day.
