if sprint dropped out. that's exactly what happened today. as we see, dish's moves to the upside right now. up 1.5% for that stock. t-mobile struggling all day. it is now down 8%. we're going to have much more on this in just a moment with charlie gasparino and the former chairman and ceo of sprint, a very interesting perspective on how much it hurts and helps consumers that the sprint deal with t-mobile was denied. >>> turns to the markets, reversal, buyers right now showing resilience after the news of the failed m&a deals. this morning a lot of red on the screen, look at the major averages right now. they have been lower most of the day, now turned and they are higher. small caps loading the way, we put the russesel -- russell 2000 has tumbled ten sessions, to see the reversal is interesting here. i'm calling it fall, bounce, repeat. the market is closely watching russia after nato announced there are 20,000 combat ready russian troops on the border with eastern ukraine. remember yesterday exactly at thi

what is next for sprint and for t-mobile? morgan brennan takes a look. >> reporter: the mobile wars continue, taking an unexpected turn that could leave sprint at a disadvantage. sources confirm that the wireless carrier has abandoned the much anticipated bid for smaller rival t-mobile. the industry is expecting the two to announce a merger in a deal that would value t-mobile at $32 billion. >> this is difficult news for sprint. sprint has all but abandoned almost any plan b other than merging with t-mobile. so now they have to go back, lick their wounds and come up with an operating strategy that means more capital spending and lower prices for consumers, and those will do real damage to sprint's income statement. >> that pushed shares of sprint down by double digits. the company poured billions into a network upgrade, poor service and the loss of millions of subscribers. now the upgrades are almost finished but sprint says to better compete with verizon and at&t, it needs scale, something it hoped to get with t-mobile howev

sprint was offering 40. the talk of the town was maybe 37 would be enough because t-mobile would not like the regulatory issues. who is left on the table question mark dish network -- who is left on the table? dish network was interested in buying sprint. he said if the t-mobile sprint talks and, he would be interested. the other person to watch is carlos slim. it also could make a run at t-mobile. >> should we talk about the other deal? boots is owned in switzerland. they currently own 45% of the company. they were going after the rest of the company. the part of the company they did not own. it was to be a tax and version deal. -- inversion deal. walgreen is one of the biggest dispensary company on main street. >> now they will not go for the tax inversion. >> that is huge. >> pfizer-astrazeneca. >> it will be interesting to see, this legislation trump that? >> what have u.s. lawmakers been saying about it? >> they're trying to do the deal. do we get an announcement from walgreen? huge political pressure.

and this isn't unique to sprint. longtime customers get the short end of the stick from their insurance companies, maybe even their cable companies. today we will find out what you can do about it. >> yes. and here's where we stand in markets. as mentioned, the dow back above 16,900 as it eyes that 17,000 mark again. the s&p 500 up 10 points to 1,981. the nasdaq at another, i believe, tyler, here during the trading session today, booking another 13-year high at 4,527. 14-year, excuse me. >> and joining our "closing bell exchange," peter anderson from

what is sprint offering? >> they're offering a promotion right now which is $100 for up to 40 gigabytes of data if you have 10 lines. it starts at 20 big guys of data for four lines which is undercutting at&t and verizon by 60 bucks. more data than when what you get on it. mobile. gerri: look at comparisons. we have great numbers. sprint coming in at 160. verizon is at 310. at&t, 310. t-mobile, 180 undercutting everybody. will they give me something extra if i leave my carrier? >> right. they're also going to pay up to $350 for you to switch, if you're coming from another carrier. they're trying to sort of bring themselves more in line with the price points of their carriers. they were more expensive. sort of key four-line competition point which is most common sort of family plan. but they're giving more data. that is trying to, that is how they're trying to differentiate themselves. gerri: if you skip out on your carrier they give you additional data? not just 350 bucks but two gigabytes of data for each li

john has blasted sprint. more reason to leave sprint and join t-mobile, now you might just have it. total chaos at sprint. let's look at another one. it looks like sprint has a new family member. one more, t-mobile has surpassed sprint, we're now number one in prepared wireless. sorry, marcel, you're behind. for his part, he tells shareholders he plans, to act, quote, very decisively to attract consumers. t-mobile has been added the most in the industry, many of them coming from sprint. so prices could be the next battle ground for these two. take a look at plans for a family of four. t-mobile is the cheapest of the bunch. now, will sprint cut prices to match? don't forget, that we also have verizon and at&t out there, they're also trying to stay competitive in this landscape as well. >> did you mention beckham, is he in this? >> i did. he's in this. >> you can never get too much beckham. >> you can't. >> morgan, thank you very much. the dow way off its lows of the day, now down just 24 points, up next -- we'

sprint is going to have problems.t is going to take the number of operators from four to three. iliad isn't going to do that. >> you are right. t-mobile is doing great in the market. even if there is a regulatory hurdle of sprint making this acquisition of t-mobile, they will just wait for one or two years when potentially there is a new u.s. administration in place and more room or m&a action. we quite rate this offer from iliad as relatively low probability of going through. >> do you think the deal would make sense for iliad at a higher price? do you think they can compete on price with sprint? would it make sense to close it at $40? >> i don't think so. basically have a rights issue, plus add 9 billion euros of debt and bring the ratio to levels like five times, which is very high in the sector which is on average two times. i wouldn't expect iliad to enter a bidding war. let's bear in mind that it is another reason for sprint to make a bid on t-mobile. thanks to the fact that they have huge synergies emerging on

for sprint, there are a lot of questions. sprint is the number three mobile carrier in the u.s. verizon and at&t wireless. they command the biggest share of customers, and sprint has traditionally had a challenge in some of winning over those customers from those other rivals. they have a larger presence around the country. they have water penetration in terms of their mobile network. if you are a verizon customer, you are likely to get service in more places than if you are a sprint customer. this is the lingering challenge for sprint. now that the tie up with t-mobile doesn't appear to be happening, they face a lot of questions. the ceo at the press conference in tokyo, he talked about this, not necessarily that the deal fell apart, but he talked about the competitive landscape in the u.s. there have been rumors about the bid for t-mobile, but softbank never made any official comment on this. i'm not making any statements regarding this issue. been rumors about the bid for t-mobile, but softbank never made any official comment on this. i'm not making any statements regarding t

rivals, sprint, at&t and verizon. so far, the plan seems to be working. t-mobile continues to add monthly wireless subscribers and now, it's attracting potential buyers. >> we've always said in the long term scale is extremely important. i have to point out we have multiple options to create long-term scale for this company, one of which is been long rumors and one possibility. >> reporter: multiple options is right. while it's widely believed sprint could put a bid in, another company beat it to the punch. today a company confirmed the $15 billion offer for majority stake sending shares of t-mobile higher, even as a broader market sole off. experts say such a deal could face fewer regulatory hurdles, since it would maintain the current number of wireless carriers, but it also strikes right at the center of a heated price war, and that's redefining the u.s. wireless space. expects say a deal like this could be good for consumers, since a sprint, t-mobile merger would decrease the competition. >> at&t and verizon would have benefitted if sprint and t-mobil
