Sprint may have given up on buying T-Mobile for now, but wireless industry analyst Chetan Sharma believes it’s only a matter of time before the two renew their courtship. A merged Sprint/T-Mobile is inevitable, according to Sharma, but if the two want to consolidate sooner rather than later, T-Mobile will have to stop performing so damn well. “To be considered a player requiring some regulatory assistance, [T-Mobile] has to probably get back to those levels of losing 300-400K [subscribers] every quarter,” Sharma said.
