Sprint Nextel lost in an attempt to get AT & T documents that have provided the third largest carrier in U.S. wireless with additional ammunition in their battle to stop the acquisition of AT & T T-Mobile USA.
Reuters reported that U.S. District Judge Ellen Huvelle rejected the request of Sprint for documents, which have also given valuable insight into the company's rival AT & T operations. Huvelle also heard the arguments of AT & T seeks dismissal of lawsuits filed by Sprint and regional airline Spire C in an attempt to block the deal, T-Mobile. She has not yet made a decision on its position as opponents of the merger.
AT & T planned purchase of T-Mobile is under threat from the Department of Justice, which sued to block the deal. Spire Sprint and C have jumped as well as their own judgments.
AT & T says it is working on two tracks in an attempt to salvage the deal, the first of a possible solution and the second building their case in court.
Sprint, meanwhile, has argued that the documents required to obtain AT & T has provided the Justice Department properly so you can build your own case. Sprint also said that AT & T and Sprint has been given to the Justice Department documents.
Reuters reported that Huvelle refused to give Sprint documents. "I do not see it as efficient and fair," Huvelle said in denying the motion.
Sprint, meanwhile, called the denial of the documents and review of their legal standing "procedural", saying it has to do with the merits of the case itself. The company argues that the possible acquisition of AT & T-Mobile T could stifle innovation and harm consumers, and to remove a low-cost provider of wireless services.
