Yes but T-Mobile ATT is not the same as T-Mobile Sprint. letting number 3 and 4 merge is not the same as letting a top 2 eat a smaller competitor. Compared to, say, Disney-Fox this is not so dangerous for consumers most likely.
- joshcain 8y agoRight, and the best argument I've heard for letting T-Mobile and Sprint merge is that there's a real question of whether Sprint continues to exist absent a merger. Could be better to have 3 strong carriers competing than 2 strong ones, one weaker one, and one on the brink. Granted, this is part of how TM/Sprint are trying to sell this to the DOJ, so worth taking it with a grain of salt.
