What's the big deal

As I have been involved in the wireless industry for 8 years, and have been a part of a carrier that has aquired many carriers, there isn't anything for these T-Mobile folks to be worried about.

Cingular/AT&T has grandfathered it's aquired carriers rate plans and features. From Dobson, Brazos Cellular, AT&T Wireless, Alltel, and others, these folks started off on day one with their existing old carrier rate plan.

So why is everyone worried?

Really???

So here is my issue with this guy. He is talking about the carriers being affordable. But yet he has no idea what any carrier might do in the future.

Seems like this was planned long ago

I remember years ago when At&t sunk a lot of money and resources to get the local police and fire department here mobilized. Looking at all the attention they're garnering by putting free wifi everywhere it seems like they had planned something big like this for years. It's gonna be interesting to see how Verizon and Sprint will work together to take this behemoth head on.

A Spitzer Clone?

Wonder if this AG is also using high end hookers like Elliot Spitzer, well if he gets caught, he can just get a job on CNN.
