It's not about technologies at the moment, it's all about spectrum!
Buying Spring for a piddly 10b will give T-Mobile much more spectrum it needs when it launches 4G!
GSM/CDMA/iDEN will all converge/be phased out in their 4G network, LTE!
Haven't you figured it out yet? Buying Sprint would cost a great deal more than $10B. Their market cap is well over $11B. The shareholders would almost assuredly demand a premium for the stocks. Plus they would have to assume Sprint's debt which is @ $21B. So that $10B figure is a pipe dream as is this alleged T-Mo/Sprint union.
