According to a report recently published by the Nikkei Asian Review, it appears that SoftBank, the parent company of Sprint, is planning to cease merger talks with Deutsche Telekom, the parent company of T-Mobile, at least for now. The last few months have seen Sprint and T-Mobile initiate talks with regards to a proposed merger of the two carriers, in the hope of going toe to toe with industry leaders Verizon Wireless and AT&T, and as recently as three weeks ago, it was reported that the parties involved were in the process of finalizing the deal.
