This corporate takeover will put further pressure on Sprint and other small carriers which might be taken over by Verizon and then we will be left with just two behemoths with consumers at their mercy. This deal should not go through at any cost. It is bad for consumers - period!
Why is this important?
There is already not enough choice in the mobile phone market as evidenced by poor consumer satisfaction with their phone service and high prices. AT&T has done little to allay consumer complaints about their slow network and dropped calls. How can one believe that their takeover of T-mobile will result in better service for consumers when then can't keep their present house in order?
