This just came over the wires...
Premium Link Upgrade
When the deal goes through, and it will with a Republican Congress and a bunch of wusses in the FCC, there will be AT&T #1 in the U.S. followed by Verizon very close behind and Sprint a distant 3rd. Boost and Cricket are tiny niche players not serious threats or competitors to those other 3.
How will such a small list of competitors be good for a nation as large as the U.S. cell market is? I guess we will just ask AT&T and Verizon to lower prices and hope thy comply or, most likely, we'll get the "we would but this is a challenging economy and we need revenue to pay for improvements.." blah blah blah.
AT&T either has no 4G plan or is very slow in rolling out their 4G plan. To me, an AT&T and iPhone 4 user--who gives a **** about 4G? Seriously? I use my iPhone from Wifi networks anyway. I don't experience any dropped calls. 4G is not a need or want from me. AT&T's 3G network is fast enough for me. 4G seems like a nice fast way to blow out a data plan, is all that is...:dunno:
Verizon is just as greedy and shitty as AT&T. I left shitty Verizon for AT&T. I haven't experienced any probs with AT&T yet...but I don't like this deal.
Perhaps the Gov't should've mandated TMobile and SPrint merge because it's only a time before Verizon buys Sprint and than we're down to 2 nationwide monopolies...:anonymous
