Sprint and T-Mobile restart merger talks – April 11, 2018
T-Mobile is already killing it and forcing the 2 bigger carriers to play its game.
Saddling themselves with the losers at Sprint is a big mistake.
After being an customer of AT&T Mobility, née AT&T, née Cingular, née SBC Communications, née Southern Bell, née AT&T (to name just a few of the iterations) for more than 25 years, I recently switched to T-Mobile because of their superior coverage in my home location. In addition, my data limits went away and my bill went down by about $40 per month.
So, I am glad to hear that you are enjoying superior coverage in combination with T-Mobile’s lower cost. I have read that T-Mobile is making a strong push to improve its high-speed coverage regions. Perhaps I will be able to praise T-Mobile’s coverage in the coming months? Time will tell…
More mergers mean a more informed pubic leading to a better democratic governance.
Using that logic, why not merge all companies into one giant company and maximize the benefit to the public and democratic governance? /s
