So the news is out that we all pretty much knew was coming. T-mobile and
Sprint will merge on paper some times in October with the deal being
stock and T-mobile being the majority share holders in the deal. My hope
is that T-mobile management will remain at the top and that T-mobile
wont become more like Verizon and At&t. We've all seen many changes in
the wireless industry over the past few years since John Legere has been
at the helm. he's dictated how and what the rest of the carriers do and
how they treat their customers. Don't think for one minute that Verizon
or At&t was smiling when they launched their unlimited data plans and
lower prices. They did it because T-mobile gave them no choice if they
wanted to remain competitive. But with Sprint being eliminated at the
bottom, they wont be there to tug and have the lowest prices forcing
T-mobile to price their services lower than Verizon and At&t. What do
you all think the future holds with the new merger? I know the big thing
is the spectrum that Sprint has and how T-mobile can utilize that to
continue to build out their network and increase coverage. I know that
Sprint still uses CDMA for their 2G network, but is their 4G networks
compatible with what T-mobile currently uses or will every Sprint
customer have to eventually get a new phone? I know this would roll out
over time like it did with Cricket and Metro PCS and that in 4 years or
so most people would have got a new phone anyway.
