T-Mobile CFO: Like it or **t, Sprint merger is inevitable Even though T-Mobile openly bashes Sprint on a regular basis, it k**ws that it's probably going to wind up merging with them anyway. Reuters reports that T-Mobile CFO*Braxton Carter said this week that a merger with Sprint is "is **t a question of if" but "is a question of when." In his remarks Carter said that the government either needed to let T-Mobile merge with Sprint or it needed to come up with a fairer way of distributing spectrum so that all the prime real estate doesn't get gobbled up by Verizon and AT&T in spectrum auctions.
