Sprint Nextel (S-N3.40-0.13-3.54%) sued to block AT&T Inc. (T-N27.76-0.29-1.03%)’s $39-billion purchase of T-Mobile USA saying the deal would lead to higher prices for consumers and create a duopoly between AT&T and Verizon Communications .

If the deal goes through, a combined AT&T and T-Mobile would have the ability to use its control over backhaul, roaming and spectrum, and its increased market position to exclude competitors, Sprint said in a statement.
