Wow. That's a big purchase :o

Maybe AT&T won't suck anymore?

Nope, just more customers to put a datacap on.

Are they trying to compete with Verizon? Since they bought Alltel a couple years ago?

[GrammarPhreak]

Wow, that's a surprise to me! Nice share, thanks.

[Deltron]

That's terrible. Less competition leads to higher prices.

[Epicly]

I heard about it on Engadget, if they dont buy it they have to basically throw 3 billion to T-Mobile. And if they dont buy it Sprint will buy them or merge.

Time for my rates to go up

Fml.

[Scalise]

Lol. This was bound to happen eventually, I don't see why it was such a surprise. The only question was who was going to buy it.

T-Mobile has been a sinking ship for years, at least those 130 million will get a decent service provider now.
