Meh. I don't really care. T-Mobile is kind of a running joke in my area. No one uses it, and the unlucky few that do trash it constantly.
I lol'd at all the anti-Apple/AT&T people, as was said Verizon carries the iPhone now, and AT&T has been carrying Android phones for a long time. Maybe try reading a news article now and then, you might learn something. I'm sure AT&T spent 39 billion dollars because Apple told them to, and not because they want to knock out a competing carrier, or expand their coverage.
On the topic of Verizon, they have terrible customer service, their service is crappy (in my area of course), and their 3G is slower (both on average nationally, and in my area). I don't love AT&T, but it sure beats Verizon in my experience.

what was the name of the other company at&t ate up a few years back?
I am completely aware that the have both android and iphones but they dont advertise nearly as much as they do for the iphone. You cant honestly tell me apple didnt have any sort of influence when it came to limiting phone providers down to two major company's.

for the guy who said he doesnt care, you will when at&t starts forcing you to have a different data plan for different uses, as well as run off of a pooled data plan with "rollover" megabytes = no unlimited data plans. good luck

You talkin Cingular? They was a weird switch. Cingular became AT&T. Then it was cingular again and then back to at&t one more time.
I like AT&T. Their service does't seem any less or worse than others. I had Tmobile before and AT&T is a little better here. I'm a blackberry guy, not an apple guy and I'm good to go. Rollover minutes are awesome too.

your "rollover" minutes expire.

at&t had a partnership with them b/c if you work for at&t you would get 50% off your phone plan so its nothing new that they finished buying them out.

What? I don't understand what you're trying to say here. Of course Apple chose AT&T and Verizon because they're the two major wireless companies (read: huge customer base), as you said...
I really hope you're right. Rollover data? I'd love it. I use roughly half of a 200MB plan right now, so I'd be rolling over the megabytes real quick. I couldn't care less about "unlimited" plans that are actually 5GB plans. At least they're not lying now. Plus I don't download several gigabyte torrents on my iPhone. I don't know, maybe you do.
My previous job was at a distributor in the wireless industry, so I made it a point to be familiar with wireless technology and infrastructure on both consumer and business ends. I do understand the potential implications of the way data distribution is changing, and I am being 100% honest when I say I really don't care, nor do I foresee myself caring. It works just fine for me. Your situation may be different, but that's not my situation. I'm far more concerned with the potential of ending up with data limitations on my home ISP, but that's another thread.
In any case, this purchase has to go through a lot of hurdles to be approved, with everyone crying about monopolies because they don't understand the term, the little guys complaining that the big guys are too big, politicians trying to look important, and bunches of regulatory red tape.
