Sprint to Battle Proposed AT&T / T-Mobile Merger
Sprint is scared lol !!!!!
In telecommunications, bigger really is better.
Its selfish and short sighted to think this is good, just cuz you get to keep an iphone where at&t's service used to suck. If your service sucked before you had options, tmobile, the carrier they picked up for one. Long term, for american consumers, THIS WILL SUCK.
No competition means no innovation and price hikes. It means the "big two" have no reason to do jack **** for it's customers. Where are the customers going to go? Prepaid?
Obviously you are way too young to remember the reasons the US gov decided to tear the giant apart in the first place. It's because in telecommunications bigger is NOT better. This has already been proven so stop trying to argue the point. It's like arguing that the sky is not blue even though you are looking right at it.

hasn't this already been proved wrong multiple times in the last 100 years? there will be short term games for some people because of this deal, sure. but in the long term less competition = higher pricing for everyone. how many people have to tell you you're wrong??
at&t is growing back to it's former girth, except now there's far less regulation. we're well on our way to an oligopoly (basically already there) with little regulation.
