it's business..who cares who buys who
as long as there is an iphone in my hand thats really all i care about
T-Mobile was the only carrier who consistently upset the apple cart on pricing. They drove down or at least kept pricing industry-wide static. Without them the wireless cartel of AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint will continue to restrain allowable use while increasing price without any actual competition.
AT&T as a corporation hates the consumer. Verizon is really the same way, they just hide it better (sorry to all the VZW fanbois out there, but it's the truth). Sprint, that company has been the walking dead for at least the last 5 years waiting for someone, anyone to just buy them or shoot them to put them out of their misery.
If the FCC approves the AT&T - Tmo merger, there's no ground for them to deny the eventual VZW - Sprint merger which then leaves us with a national duopoly run by two consumer hating mega-corporations.
