The impact on consumers remains uncertain.
Edward C. BaigTexas is joining more than a dozen states suing to stop T-Mobile’s $26.5 billion takeover of rival cellphone company Sprint, arguing that the deal is bad for consumers because it would reduce competition.The T-Mobile-Sprint merger cleared a major regulatory hurdle Wednesday when the Federal Communications Commission formally voted to approve the deal to combine the nation’s No. 3 and No. 4 wireless carriers.

T-Mobile and Sprint have long claimed otherwise and previously committed to not raise prices for three years.
