Well...At least it seems like the people who are at the helm of T-Mobile will continue being at the helm of the newly formed company. Mergers are usually not good for consumers since it results in less competition but at least with John Legere at the helm it may not be quite so bad.
Here's to hoping that the combined company will continue giving AT&T and Verizon that bloody nose that they both so richly deserve. |

Win Win All AroundNo huge merger costs to cover because of the all stock deal.
This is not another Nextel deal as there is a convergence going on anyway.
There is only one question -
How big a pound of flesh AT&T/Verizon can extract by whining about the combined spectrum assets. |

Wait A MinI thought Softbank was going to buy Tmobile and then just merge it with Spring with the T Mobile management running things. I also thought Deutsche Telekom wanted out of the US Market. So maybe this wont be as bad as we originally thought. |

If you're a Sprint customer...and you haven't gone to an unlimited plan you better do it now before they eliminate them. |

So how long is my sweetheart plan going to last?I have a Sprint Everything Data 1500 (ED1500). VERY cost effective for the 4 phones in my plan. Very decent coverage here in Chicagoland (one of Sprint's favorites). I still can get a subsidized iPhones from Apple ($450 off retail each).
So what happens to all of this post-merger? Is the merged entity still required to honor pre-merger plans etc. ?
