T-Mobile Remains Sprint's Top Merger Target, SoftBank CEO Says

Masayoshi Son, CEO of Japan-based SoftBank, said T-Mobile remains Sprint’s "first priority" as a merger partner. SoftBank owns a controlling interest in Sprint and Son spoke on an earnings call Wednesday. His remarks were reported by Nikkei Asian Review. "If any other favorable options come up” for Sprint, “I will consider them with an open mind,” Son said. He said he was pleased with the signals from the Trump administration. "The previous administration turned a deaf ear,” he said. “The U.S. was a difficult place to do business and I felt a great deal of dissatisfaction."
