Telecom expert: Government ‘will prevail’ in AT&T suit

The only problem is that everyone I know that has T-Mobile hates it :-/

When AT&T promised 5000 good paying jobs if a deal is reached, I knew they were doomed.

Yahoo also covered it t mobile made it but still you should read it.

They almost went bankrupt a few time's and was in the top ten the most likely to become bankrupt business in the u.s. but you stupid ignorant feces eating half wit's. Are to stupid to see if they go bankrupt then job's will be lost and million of subscriber's will be without phone service. The majority of you people are too stupid to have the right to comment . I wish there was some way you could revoke slow witted yahoo user's the right's to thumb up or thumb down comment's.

I support the Government I have been on the other side of AT&T's greed and also currently with T-Mobile but am dealing with the lies of T-Mobile, can u imagine how customers will be treated by AT&T if they get hold of T-Mobile's account customers.

If the acquisition goes through, then AT&T-Mobile (or whatever it will be called), would be the only GSM carrier available in the US - which is bad news for frequent travelers who rely on GSM handsets or those who don't want to be stuck with the relatively few handsets Verizon and Sprint have to offer. I would only want to use a GSM carrier for those two reasons and also because GSM offers clearly call quality over CDMA. Lack of choice is never good. Here is an example, since AT&T locks their iPhones, customers are "forced" to use AT&T and pay their rates - around $150 a month if you want unlimited voice and data. However, if you have an unlocked iPhone, you can get unlimited data and voice for half of that. In sum, this deal is not good news for the consumer.

I don't like AT&T, but in this case, I am on their side. If this merger goes through, they will be able to expand their broadband to areas that at present only can get dial-up. I am a medical transcriptionist. Most transcription companies require fast-speed internet so I am severely limited in job opportunities, not to mention the frustration of dial-up (especially AT&T dial-up).

Does it really matter?? The word competition is such baloney when it comes to stuff like this. The consumer never sees better prices with more competition. All we get is multiple companies charging relatively the same price for the same lousy service. If at&t wants to buy 'em, then let them. Maybe the combined companies could provide better service. Because at the end of the day, that's all the consumer really wants...reliable service. If the government wants to stick their nose in, then let them regulate prices.

Who cares? They both suck. Zero plus Zero is still Zero.

The government can not run the country or do their jobs, but when it comes to mutli billion dollar corportations they know what is best for the country. They are full of sh*@. This is another classic example of our so called government sticking their noses into things they need to stay out of. I am an AT&T customer and have been since they bought out Cingular. I was looking towards a smaller bill with the merger and my sister was looking forward to becoming part of AT&T network with her T-Mobil phone. Now the out of touch government dumbsh*@s are screwing this up as they have screwed up this country. I say lets kick all these worthless shi*heads out and start over with a new government with new ground rules for them to follow, ie... do the job you was hired to do, no behind door deals, no lobbyists, no special interest groups and no retirement packages unless you can stay hired for 20 years like the common man has to work to get retirement. The same for all government employees from top to bottom. Then we will be a rich nation without having to pay idiots retirement benefits for 3 or 4 years of so called work. These corporations make billions of dollars each year and the only thing the #$%$ ed up government can do is add trillions more to our debt. Worry about your own house before going after some one else dipshits.

I personally thought that it was an unwarranted consolidation of the wireless market. I was also of the belief that it represented the sort of merger that the Justice Department would oppose. I believe that long term this merger would have resulted in much less competition in the wireless marketplace, less choice and higher prices for everyone. In this instance I support the position of the Justice Department.

I pay 28 bucks a month for cell phone on Tmobile. AT&T would charge me out the ass.

Bye Everybody
