AT&T aka Ma Bell is coming back again. It's giving an offer for T-Mobile about 39 billion dollars to be exact. It's owner, Deutsche Telekom, is selling it because it can't make money out of it anymore due to the iPhone. Sprint and T-Mobile have been suffering ever since the iPhone came out, losing customers as people just wanted the latest gadget so it's owner got desperate. DT wants to sell T-Mobile USA. Why should it concern you? Well, you should be worried. T-Mobile and Sprint are the only ones standing up to AT&T and Verizon and those two big companies care about money not innovation.
T-Mobile was the first company to bring Android phones to the market. They sparked innovation and a true iPhone competitor and this has brought Android across all carriers, because of it's popularity. Sprint has announced it will support number porting with Google Voice natively and will give it's users the option to. Sprint and T-Mobile are needed to make the mobile atmosphere changing otherwise we will be stuck in the Ma Bell days where everything just seemed to stay still and boring.
Get rid of T-Mobile? If you do, you're getting rid of innovation and change here.
