We've seen what happens with monopolies; there is no incentive to provide customer service. These companies control all aspects of communication, from cell phones, to tv, to internet access, and should be subject to the Sherman Anti-Trust Act.

I hope they can block it. I've been a customer of both companies, screwed over by both and happy with both from time to time as well.

Whenever there are fewer than 10 real competitors, mergers like this cannot be allowed.

The T-Mobile and Sprint merger is in part a way to provide the USA with a nation-wide secure 5G network. I wonder if the Democrats are beholden to AT&T and Verizon's market-segmented political donors.

Honestly this merger is a good idea to provide solid competition against Verizon and AT&T.

As a former long-suffering Softbank customer, I beseech the US to keep Masayoshi Son as far away from its shores as possible.
