AT&T's $39 billion dollar plan to buy T-Mobile will make it the single largest carrier in the country. Although AT&T executives say that the merger deal will improve the "quality of service for customers" and will help the economic workforce by providing thousands of new jobs, it may not all be true. For instance, the FCC needs to think about the jobs of nearly 40,000 T-Mobile employees who will be at risk when the merger occurs. More than 34 million T-Mobile customers pay an average of 20 percent less than AT&T customers. AT&T has promised to honor their exisiting contracts, but those customers can be sure to expect higher fees once their contracts are up. AT&T PR people are working like crazy to convince Americans that they've got their best interest at heart and that the Department of Justice and FCC should approve this merger.

I am not thinking the FCC will allow this. Guess we will see!
I hope the FCC say no to this. We need competition.
