Its a tough call on 1 hand you have two carriers that have almost double the subscribers of the 3th and 4th carriers. So combining 3 and 4 would make it 3 big telcos competing for subscribers. On the other hand the users will loose a realistic choice from 4 to 3.
Personally I wouldn't allow 1 or 2 to buy 3 or 4. But 3 or 4 combining I feel something people could live with.
- gnicholas 9y agoI agree that this is a tough call. One additional wrinkle is Comcast's impending entrance, as a Verizon reseller that will also be leveraging their own wifi network. Comcast will start out as a small player in cellular, but because they're a big company and will be leveraging a large existing wifi network they may be able to grow relatively quickly. I am generally not a huge fan of Comcast [1], but in this case I welcome their entrance to the cellular market and look forward to seeing how this shakes things up. 1: https://medium.com/@nicklum/how-my-hatred-of-comcast-drove-me-to-buy-their-stock-a17ca03a832f https://medium.com/@nicklum/how-my-hatred-of-comcast-drove-m...
- xienze 9y agoWhile I agree that going from 4 to 3 isn't a good thing, realistically Sprint has been a viable choice for some time now. Terrible coverage and pathetic data speeds.
- Aloha 9y agoI dont think there is enough spectrum, capital or subscribers for 4 healthy cellular carrier in the united states.
