NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I love what he did with T-Mobile. I have been a very happy customers for 10 years.

I love what he did for the industry. He tore up the previous industry playbook. We'd still be paying $100 for 5000 minutes and an extra $20 for 2GB data today‡ if he hadn't yanked the rug from under AT&T and Verizon with his uncarrier stuff.
As long as it ain't the guy from Sprint who ran the company into the ground.
‡I pulled those numbers out of my (_!_).
Hyperbole, but still not too far off the mark.The guy he originally hired in 2012 is taking over and John is moving back to just being on the board... at least for now. There's been rumors he's leaving to take a job elsewhere but that wasn't made official yet.. nor should it be since he's contract isn't up till early 2020. Chances are he'll move on but in the mean time this gives T-Mobile and Sprint a few months to pick his brain.
No one should freak out. John is leaving because that's part of the merger deal.
Sievert takes over. Sievert's been working with John for years. If Sievert wasn't good for T-Mobile John would have deep-sixed him a long-time ago.
No one from Sprint is taking over anything, although Masayoshi Son (who runs Softbank, which has close to 80% ownership in Sprint) has a spot on the new T-Mobile board.
