A DOJ attorney called today to talk with me about this and get my comments.

The squeaky wheel concept really works. Please join in.

So, by all means contact them. The more people that voice their complaint about this planned monopoly the better.

Personally, any telecom carrier is mediocre at best — until it manages to get a monopoly. In this case, AT&T will be the only GSM carrier in the US if it buys T-Mobile. Unlocking will be a thing of the past. That’s not a future I want to see.

That does not improve the profit line. There is a guarantee of less competition (monopoly on GSM and SIM cards. Resulting in higher prices. We are already one of the highest paying countries in the world. Ma Bell is getting back together. Thread lightly!

Having LTE in west Texas will be a God send! Hope the big city, anti-corporation folks don’t ruin it for us. Rural America needs this!

Having LTE in west Texas will be a God send!

Why is it inconceivable that you could have better service without a merger? For instance, if you were able to take your phone and your business elsewhere?

Having just been mugged by T-Mobile (you can read the details here: http://nyti.ms/dRW9yO), I can’t say I expect worse customer service from AT&T, but that certainly isn’t saying much. And I expect the more the industry consolidates, the worse the service will get. Oligopoly means *rarely* having to say you’re sorry; monopoly means *never* having to say you’re sorry.

Or is this a US-citizens-and-residents-only type deal?

I need better coverage at my house and I cant wait to have better data speeds and call quality on my cell phone! I just emailed the FCC Chairman hoping he pushes this through quickly! Thanks for the link!
