AT&T Files T-Mobile Acquisition Papers with the FCC

I thought Metro owned their own towers? Even if they don't, AT&T + Verizon can't force them out of business because the anti-trust lawyers will jump on that like flies on poop. Pre-paid carriers exist simply because there is a market for them. LOTS of people can't afford a regular cell plan, or don't have enough credit to get one.

Any why will Sprint be forced to sell? I mean, the DoJ is on the AT&T sale: what makes you think they'll be less vigilant with a Sprint/Verizon merger?
