What modern telecommunications company traces its roots back to the Brown Telephone Company?


以下哪个现代电信公司可以追溯到布朗电话公司?


Sprint 1, AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile.


斯普林特(Sprint)、美国电话电报公司、威瑞森、德国电信公司


Brown Telephone founded in 1899 is a part of the history of Sprint Corporation.


1899年成立的布朗电话公司曾是斯普林特公司一部分。


That could include T-Mobile too, if the proposed $26 billion merger 2 between Sprint and T-Mobile goes through. The companies say this would make it easier for them to build a fifth generation network across America that`s better known as 5G. It would mean faster Internet speeds for mobile devices like smart phones.


如果Sprint和T-Mobile之间的260亿美元合并计划通过的话,这也可能包括T-Mobile。这些公司表示,这将使他们更容易在全美建立第五代网络,即5G。这将意味着智能手机等移动设备的网速会更快。


The merger would also help the new Sprint/T-Mobile company better compete with Verizon and AT&T who currently dominate the U.S. market. T-Mobile CEO says the merger would create jobs and lower prices for consumers.


合并还将帮助新的Sprint/T-Mobile公司更好地与目前主导美国市场的Verizon和AT&T竞争。T-Mobile的首席执行官表示,合并将创造就业机会,并降低消费者的价格。


Some Wall Street analysts 3 say it would have the opposite effects. Either way, it would reduce the number of wireless 4 carriers in America. The new company, Verizon, and AT&T would be the only three.


一些华尔街分析师表示,这将产生相反的效果。无论哪种方式,它都会减少美国的无线运营商数量。新公司、Verizon和AT&T将是唯一的三家公司。


Major business mergers 5 need U.S. government approval to go through, though. And that`s not a given. The Trump 6 administration is currently suing to block AT&T from buying Time Warner. That`s the parent company of CNN.


不过,重大的商业合并需要美国政府的批准才能通过。但目前尚不确定。特朗普政府目前正在起诉阻止AT&T收购时代华纳,时代华纳这是CNN的总公司
