So yesterday it was announced that T-Mobile is being bought out by AT&T in a 23 Billion Cash/Stock Deal. This will gain them roughly a net user base of 45.5 Million and T-Mobile’s huge Slice of the 700MHz LTE Spectrum. Granted this all still requires regulatory approval (which I hopes fails) and will take about a year to process.
So what’s my 2 cents on this? Simple. AT&T, their horrid network, and even more horrid customer service can go die in a hole! I disavowed them when I had home service and went cell phone only and I am not about to give them money now. Not to mention that they cap data at some stupid low bandwidth limits and charge you at 10 bucks a Gig if you go over! Sorry but if I am paying 30 a month for data on my phones I better be able to use it for more then a couple of videos and some email, 2GB is nothing in this day and age.
So right now I am in a wait and see pattern on the whole deal, I personally am praying that regulatory approval fails and AT&T has to go die in a hole. But we al know Big Blue has deep pockets and will pay them off so they can fuck up what I consider the best GSM network in the US!
