which it will be based, will radically change and benefit the
global community, and SoftBank is at the forefront of this
revolution. SoftBank’s relationship with Sprint has completely
changed our company to the benefit of American consumers, and I am
confident that there are significant opportunities for SoftBank to
make an even greater contribution across all of its unique
businesses.”
