no rush

Tmobile is in no rush to merge the brands the way Sprint had done and ruined any good will of it's bought customer base. Expanding into new markets is a good thing-- so long as the service doesn't suck. No sense building it if they don't have the frequency bandwidth or the backhaul fiber.

It remains to be seen whether TMO will continue its arrangements with Net10/Tracfone.
As pricing edges down into their range.. there's no real difference other than cheap subsidy phones in the prepaid market.

Sprint didn't rush to merge any brands. They operated Nextel for YEARS after they purchased them. And VM and BM still operate without Sprint's branding. But Sprint would be better off to change their name to Virgin Mobile, at least then it would have a world class name that people know and realize it's not going away anytime soon.
