Joint statement ends negotiations over a possible merger, something the two wireless carriers have been dancing around for yearsWireless carriers Sprint and T-Mobile have called off a potential merger, saying they could not come to an agreement that would benefit customers and shareholders. The two companies have been dancing around a possible merger for years, and were again in the news in recent weeks with talks of coming together after all.
