Although it may or may not make sense to get rid of the old cable plant, and wireline service, it may not be the best idea as they are plowing tons of money into U-Verse, and will need much of that plant as well as old right of ways etc.
I can't think for the life of me who would make it a merger condition insofar as regulatory, as it is not a technology that T-Mobile is bringing anything to the table with, the feds will care less. Possibly T-Mobile is scared of the wired plants future? Frontier will have a hard time getting through each states regulatory process for a variety of problems.
