"AT&T Acquires T-Mobile, Rockets Up to More Than 130 Million U.S. Users...

Breaking news in the mobile world: AT&T has acquired competitor T-Mobile, shrinking the "big four" carriers in the U.S. to a mere three. But it's a mighty three. The $39 billion purchase now summons forth the largest combined carrier in the U.S., one which already has its own nickname mere minutes after the transaction was announced: "AT&T-Mobile."

In total, AT&T and T-Mobile's combined operations will carry roughly 130 million users. Or, in layman's terms, a heckuva lot more people than now-second place Verizon and its users numbering in the mid-90 million....."

Locally this means loss of jobs at the T-Mobile facility in Bellevue (Washington).
 
Amir, I noticed this headline earlier in the day. I guess nobody learnt anything for the Ma Bell debacle of years past...Pity that we have such short memories:mad:

It sucks since I specifically went to T-Mobile because they were the only provider that had a package that suits me. If/when this goes through, I am betting that my plan disappears and my costs will multiply. Fewer providers means less choice.
