Author doesn't really establish her point about 'the industry' outside the speculative bubble of what this means for T-Mobile and echoing the article headline:<p><i>AT&T and T-Mobile deal has very little impact on the state of the wireless industry as a whole.</i><p>Okay, how? If this goes through, the most Android friendly carrier is being assimilated by the <i>least</i> Android friendly carrier, who will also hold the figurative gatekey to GSM with no imperative or motivation for improving GSM beyond scaling their infrastructure.
