I expect that AT&T and Verizon are using lobbyists to stop the merger. Anyone pulling low-value customers away from them means those low-value customers have a chance to avoid higher prices spent with the big guys.

What is it really not talked about is if the merger does not go through sprint will go bankrupt in two years, look at their balance sheet it tells the story. So you’re going to end up with three competitors anyway.

A business going under and their assets being sold to their competitors is exactly good for who? While not at mergers are good there is a lot that can be positive in this. Without it is very likely sprint fails goes under or gets bought out while already hurting with no chance of recovering because of the massive cash…

Except this one... this one is good for the market.

I still argue that this merger makes the market MORE competitive, not less. Right now you have two major players: Verizon and AT&T. T-Mobile puts in an admirable effort to compete, and Sprint is a dead man walking. With this merger you actually get a third, still weaker but stronger than now, competitor to those big…

When Sprint fails and its spectrum is sold to the highest bidders (The top 2 in reality...) how will that be better than this merger?
