Re: Money > Truth Yes but won't AT&T be the only GSM provider left ? Couldn't that be considered a monopoly since it is the main standard worldwide for wireless systems ? I mean the whole world uses GSM & AT&T will be the only national provider . That won't alarm anyone that has a say in this merger ? |

From a phone perspective it doesn't make that much of a difference since newer phones have normally been locked to a specific carrier anyway so you couldn't just take your AT&T phone and use it on T-Mobile's network.
Even if it is an issue with GSM (3G), with the switch to LTE (4G) which will be used by both AT&T and Verizon I don't think that will be an issue in the long run.
