New reports suggest Dish will buy Boost and some wireless spectrum
Combined with spectrum Dish already owns, it appears they may create a new "4th carrier" to replace Sprint. Based on these reports, they are saying that Justice Department approval may be days away.
Dish is negotiating a deal to buy wireless spectrum and Boost Mobile from T-Mobile and Sprint, as the latter two companies look to finally receive approval for their huge, industry-reshaping merger.
Sprint and T-Mobile's on-again-off-again $26 billion merger appears to be on again. The US Department of Justice is prepared to approve the deal within days, CNN Business has learned.
