U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar released the following statement on the news that Sprint and T-Mobile called off a potential merger between the two companies:
"This is good news for consumers--a potential merger by T-Mobile and Sprint could have raised serious antitrust issues. This is exactly why I urged the FCC and DOJ to investigate this potential merger, because maintaining competition among the four largest cell phone carriers leads to lower prices, better service and more innovation."
