[citation][nom]whatwhatjbdo[/nom]Seems like you all missed "other" points as well... 1) Tmobile was looking for a buyer, who is better positioned than ATT...not Sprint apparently 2) Look at other countries in the world...how many would you say have 4-5 MAIN competing carriers...none really 3) Now look at their rates for usage...low? Yes they are. To get low rates, you do not have to have 5 carriers nationwide, just willingness to be less greedy, but then again, that is not American.4) If this was your company...meaning you are a stock holder, what would you do, say "No, please dont buy a company that is hardly considered to be competition, but can give you needed wireless benefits that can produce billions in profits, No, I definitely dont want that crap"5) AT&T is a business! Duh! Look at all the companies Google bought out last year alone. Dont complain about what Googles world wide plans are...they arent ruining anyone elses sunday brunch. 6) Get over it. Expect it to be good for consumers, if it doesnt work out. Hey...you still have a choice of other carriers...they arent taking your Sprint or Verizon or MetroPCS. Stop focusing on everything negative. Give positive a try. America is seriously starting to suck...everyone freaking complains. EVERYONE. Love you allWait...there is still competition? Yes, Ghost questioner, yes there is.[/citation]
1. ok
2.which countries are you referring to? I see much different picture in other, for exmaple european/asian markets. And by the looks of it the more competition = more competitive pricing.
3.Good luck with that, all corporations always run on "as much profit as possible" scenario, the only thing to stop them there (as in case with other countirs) is the government regulations; but since big telcos are in bed with politicians for a long long time now you will never see any tough regulations on them.
4-5. Do not care about that, I am a consumer and the matter of fact is that -I keep the company aflot as a consumer -not investors.
And as far as not ruining anones "brunch" well if you like to think that then look at comments here... looks a little different than you think doesn't it?
6. Hahahha yeah.... "just do it, it is good for you"...they day a corporation starts caring for customer's well being and customer satisfaction and benefit is the day I will crap $100 dollar bills. Perhaps YOU have a choice to choose those carriers, take yourself out of your little box and imagine the people that only have 2 choices at best...if that.
The main point is only in utopia does market operate best with one company, every other scneario happening in the world goes agaisnt what you say.
