Sprint and C Spire Wireless have decided to postpone lawsuits levied against AT&T. The two carriers had originally filed the suits in hopes of blocking AT&T’s planned  $39 billion acquisition of T-Mobile USA from Deutsche Telekom. AT&T recently <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/11/29/att-granted-approval-to-withdraw-t-mobile-merger-application-from-fcc/">pulled its merger application from the FCC</a> however, and was <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/12/12/att-asks-justice-department-to-delay-court-proceedings/">granted a stay</a> until January 18th for its lawsuit against the Department of Justice. Sprint originally <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/09/06/sprint-sues-to-block-attt-mobile-merger/">sued to block the merger in September</a> when it argued the deal would “harm retail consumers and corporate customers by causing higher prices and less innovation.”<span id="more-116275"></span>
