The leaders of T-Mobile US Inc. and its acquisition target Sprint Corp. returned to Washington to sell their $26.5 billion deal, as Dish Network Corp. Chairman Charlie Ergen, a potential rival, said he’ll watch how the tie-up of top-four mobile providers affects competition.
T-Mobile’s John Legere and Sprint’s Marcelo Claure met with Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai, said Brian Hart, an agency spokesman. Pai was traveling last week when the chief executive officers were in Washington meeting federal officials last week, following the April 29 announcement of their deal. Hart didn’t offer details.
