I doubt it matters, but interesting nonetheless.

I thought the merger was already a done deal.

They (like other companies) will object to anything that may give them any type of competition. Not surprised at all.

Personally I like the idea of this Merger. T-Mobile has really shaken up the cell industry.

Nope. It has to go through a number of regulatory approvals still.

yeah, the Sinclair/Tribune merger was further proof of it, it failed cause Sinclair was unwilling to sale some channels per FCC/DOJ approval of the merger.

also, people thought the same for AT&T and Time Warner after a judge ruled that the 2 can merge, only for the DOJ to file their own notion to make this merger not happen.

With Sprint and T-Mobile together, will that shakeup continue? I seriously doubt that.

I don't. All the other companies will be quaking in their boots.

Good, Sprint is a turd. I don't want it anywhere near my TMobile account.

Because Charlie thought he would have T mobile.

Charlie’s son even thought they would have T mobile. He told me that at CES in 2012 or 2013.
