American’s are always afraid of change. T-mobile customers have nothing
to lose and everything to gain from this deal. Since when was getting
internet and cell phone coverage to more of the country a bad thing? So
what if AT&T becomes a bigger company- it just gives another company
the opportunity of stepping into the market to become the 4th largest
carrier. If AT&T says it will create jobs- let them prove it!
Staying the same is obviously not helping our jobs situation. We are losing
jobs by the second- who says this deal won’t spark innovation and create
more jobs across the country? The government has really been pissing me
off lately and all they’re doing is wasting money to go to trial. Doesn’t anyone find it strange how T-mobile is literally up for grabs? They don’t care who buys them, which means they’re going out of business soon anyways. How retarded can the government be for not letting this deal happen?

If ATT can own Tmobile ; then consumer benefit will be limited. So, NO!!!

I’m for AT&T taking over T-Mobile…the company is going bankrupt and their parent company wants nothing to do with them…AT&T doesn’t care about keeping T-Mobile customers after the buyout goes through anyways…if you don’t like them…go to Sprint or Verizon…all AT&T wants is the spectrum

Why do you care? Its not a monopoly. The U.S. is different in the way that normal consumers don’t give a damn whether its GSM or not. Verizon is Verizon, ATT is ATT, Sprint is Sprint. The average person doesn’t even know there is a big difference between the networks let alone the difference between CDMA and GSM.

AT&T sucks, they shouldn’t be even trying to take over T-mobile in the first place. Monopoly laws are in place and they are breaking laws left and right just to take over the mobile market again. Their service sucks, and their customer service fails, to top that off as a T-mobile user for the past six years, I would leave T-mobile if they sell out to one of the biggest corporations in the nation.

The government needs to get more aggressive in blocking these types of deals. We need to be more proactive in preventing giant corporations which will only lead to higher prices and lesser quality services for consumers. What we really need is a second coming of Teddy Roosevelt to bust up many of these “too big to fail” corporations, banks and financial institutions.
