AT&T has asked a federal judge to toss a lawsuit brought against it by Sprint, <em>Reuters</em> reported on Friday. Sprint <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/09/06/sprint-sues-to-block-attt-mobile-merger/">filed its lawsuit on September 6th</a> and said it was fighting “on behalf of consumers and competition.” Sprint also argued that AT&T’s planned acquisition of T-Mobile USA is “illegal.” As one might expect, AT&T does not see eye-to-eye with Sprint on those allegations. “Sprint cannot wrap itself in the cloak of wireless service consumers’ interest because Sprint is not a consumer but instead a competitor in the sale of wireless services,” AT&T said in its court filing, noting that Sprint’s argument has a “lack of standing.” AT&T also responded to Sprint’s lawsuit earlier this month when it said: “This simply demonstrates what we’ve said all along – Sprint is more interested in protecting itself than it is in promoting competition that benefits consumers.” Sprint is not alone, however. The United States government <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/08/31/u-s-government-sues-to-block-att-t-mobile-merger/">filed a suit against AT&T</a> in an attempt to block the merger in late August. <span id="more-106136"></span>
