In The Race For More Spectrum, AT&T Is Acquiring T-Mobile For $39 Billion

From the press release: "The U.S. wireless industry is one of the most fiercely competitive markets in the world and will remain so after this deal."<p>Did they accidentally release this 12 days ahead of schedule?

In terms of freedom, T-Mobile was the only large carrier to oppose warrant-less wiretapping of Americans. In terms of cost, T-Mobile offered the best non-contract prices, and I could use my Nexus One or iPhone on their network for a reasonable price.

for some reason i'm more concerned than excited.
