>Agreed. However, and not to be political but a realist, if this is the only merger we see in the mobile providers in the next 4 years, I would consider it a win
There are only 4 American non-virtual mobile providers.
If you expect 1 merger every 4 years, and there are only 4 providers, then you expect the entire market to re-monopolize in roughly a decade?
People forget that in America, there are only 4 major mobile network builders only.
I would consider it a win if we stayed at 4, or increased to 5+.
Anything else is a cataclysmic loss from my perspective.
