I think all of you complaining about how AT&T is going to be " to big " should just shut up already. This is a business and life ran around making money! AT&T shouldn't be punished in anyway just because they were smarter then the other phone carriers & bought out TMO.
AT&T was not necessarily smarter, they just had more money and the regulatory environment they're in is loose enough to allow such a transaction
With AT&T & TMO merging together; it'll be LESS expensive & have a BETTER quality of handsets! Think about that. It's TWO companies merging together. They won't need to raise any prices, because they will have a combined customers ALREADY!
Do som...

but you're right, the sky is definitely not falling, and the industry will probably be fine in the end. but with at&t and t-mobile being the same company, make no mistake that there WILL BE less consumer choices for rate plans, features, and phones, and all the lower pricing t-mobile currently offers will be gone in favor of at&t's higher ...

Absolutely. Just because some people aren't well informed enough (or desire to be) to form a coherent opinion, doesn't mean that people aren't allowed to voice their opinions on an OPEN internet forum.
this is america, craig! you dont like it...wellll you can GIT OUT!

the point is, not only will YOU be choosing to pay more with AT&T, but EVERY consumer (with every wireless company) will be paying more in the long run. pricing will increase with decreased competition.
pay more for better coverage (att + T-Mobile towers) or pay less with less coverage with sprint, cricket, or metro pcs.
that is like saying everybody paying more for Mercedes. if you don't want to pay more, get american car! haha

iPhone pricing in the UK. Seems to me you can pay £69 (approx $112) for an iPhone 4 up front, sign a 2 year contract, and pay £35 (approx $57) a month for 2000 min, 5000 texts, 5000 "three-to-three" minutes (whatever those are) and all-you-can-eat data (direct quote from the website).
Enlighten me, netboy. How much does an iPhone 4 cost to own and operate in the US exactly...?
I like my phone with android with 4.3" screen, if Steve makes iPhone with 4.3 screen I might give it a try. phones with 4.3" screen only a little bigger than other smartphones.
US:$199
UK:$112
Service agreement pricing:
UK:$57 a month for the aforementioned features
US: AT&T- $94.99 for 900 minutes, 1000 texts, and 2GB of data
VERIZON-$109.99 for 900 minutes, unlimited text, unlimited data
So regardless of whether or not you have an iPhone, netboy, if you were in the UK you would be paying just over half of what US consumers pay for the same service. Wake up kid, you haven't the slightest clue what's really going on.

True, AT&T is a business and it should be looking to make the most money it can. However, there are rules that all industries must abide by in order to run their businesses in the US. We elect officials who appoint regulatory agencies to handle the rulemaking and enforcement.
A good example is the EPA. They make rules on our behalf that regulate who can dump how much and where. It might end up costing those businesses a little bit more to manage their waste by-products, but that cost is necessary to protect us.
