AT&T and T-Mobile call off the wedding

    T-Mobile customers REALLY dodged a bullet there.

    I couldn't imagine being under an AT&T contract. It's probably like the devil having one hand on your throat and the other in your pants.

    ...in your wallet pocket, of course.

    Good riddance.

    I saw this coming a mile away. There was no way the FCC would have approved this merger. Anyway, better for T-Mo. Their customer service would have went down the tubes.

    Now Sprint can buy T-Mo. :)

    I've heard speculation that Deutsche Telecom is just going to shut T-Mobile down and sell it off piece by piece if the AT&T deal fell through. I hope that's only tech analyst FUD, but who knows...

    @BHHammy: That is perhaps the greatest analogy I've ever seen. Do I have the ability to nominate that for a byte? (If they ever come back of course XD)

    Also from the gist of this article AT&T appears to be the American equivalent of Rogers or Bell which is a very scary thing indeed should they have managed to actually acquire T-Mobile

    Well, AT&T was too much of trying to become the old Bell any way it could for federal regulators, so I am glad also on that front that they did not buy T-Mobile.
