However, we have been clear all along that a deal with anyone will have to result in superior long-term value for T‑Mobile’s shareholders compared to our outstanding stand-alone performance and track record,” said John Legere, President and CEO of T‑Mobile US, Inc. “Going forward, T‑Mobile will continue disrupting this industry and bringing our proven Un-carrier strategy to more customers and new categories – ultimately redefining the mobile Internet as we know it. We’ve been out-growing this industry for the last 15 quarters, delivering outstanding value for shareholders, and driving significant change across wireless. We won’t stop now.” __About T‑Mobile US, Inc.:__ As America's Un-carrier, T‑Mobile US, Inc.
