The problem is that T-mobile and Sprint both use different communications protocols. GSM vs. CDMA protocols. So the coverage maps would not particularly change until they are all unified in communications protocols.
One correction is that Sprint would be merging with T-Mobile, as the Resulting Company would have T-Mobile as the Majority shareholder. I think this is important as T-mobile is probably the only Telcom that is actively expanding and innovating in US. They have majorly expanded their network and recently acquired new bandwidth from the FCC. So T-mobile as the Majority company may not be as bad as Sprint as the Majority company.
