MetroPCS Makes Offer On Leap Wireless
the fcc/doj should say no
shouldn't be allowed.
ATT and Verizon (especially) have been eating up the little carriers like popcorn lately. Dobson, Ramcell, Rural Cellular... who's next? 👀

Very true, but divestitures and conditions are their specialties. We might see some of that here. Although not a lot.
Agreed. That's been par for the course for them. But there isn't much overlap between Metro and Cricket, from what I've heard. Divestitures shouldn't affect them much at all.
Like popcorn huh? What flavor?

Yeah, bingo. And its not like the FCC has been especially big on blocking mergers/acquistions anyway.
Tell that to Sirius and XM!

That's a COMPLETELY different situation. There are only two satellite radio providers, so of course the FCC will be concerned about a monopoly. There are plenty of wireless carriers to keep competition healthy.
Bingo. 😁

this would be like directv and dish network merging. with both unlimited carriers merging, competition would be reduced. probably would not be unlimited anymore after awhile.
shouldn't be allowed.
Yeah, nevermind that we're one step closer to an all-you-can-yak national carrier that would properly stick it to the majors and drive down prices.
