This merger is bad news for those of us from the Phoenix metro area. I'd say Verizon and T-mobile are the only two carriers with good coverage and T-Mo is the only carrier that provides a decent service and competes on price.

At least when I switch to Verizon I'll get a new phone!

It's bad news period. It is hillarious how they were arguing that less competition will allow them to lower prices and provide better service.

I knew if I had almost a monopoly, my first priority would be to lower prices and provide better service. Just like Comcast, sorry, Xfinity.

A nice symbolic gesture, but we know it will do no good. Pretending that our regulatory agencies aren't in the pockets of industry is sheer lunacy.
