It was completely expected because the U.S. government now is basically pro giant corporation monopolies, but still disappointing.

Even less carriers to choose from now.

Well...darn. idk how people enjoy the thought of one or two corporations owning everything. Once you get past the convenience for yourself, it's all short sighted and beneficial to just that company.
We are animals, so our hindsight is limited to how we think of ourselves.
Idk where I'm going with this, but I'm disappointed in people constantly. It's obvious how dumb we are as a species that we label ourselves as advanced. If we were so advanced, we'd know we still have so much progress to be had. We're primitive.

In short, cats are a much more advanced species. They don't even need hammers in their culture.

I'd rather have cats than a phone. So merge or not these bums aren't getting my money. Maybe if more quit then the prices would be sensible.

Phones are for dumb people. That's why costs keep going up and few toss them aside.

It's the opposite. Phones are for people who know how useful and convenient they are... Instead of avoiding them for no real reason other than being different. Those are the dumb people...

Just don't buy a new phone? My phone is like 5 years old at this point and it works just fine.

Indeed. My old flip phone was 8 years old when it died, and the phone I got to replace it I got at no up-front cost and for the same monthly fee I was paying for my flip phone (basic plan for $40/month). Cell phones really don't cost that much unless you seek out the higher-end stuff or want a more comprehensive plan.

Can you feel the personal freedom? All this personal freedom is great. Good thing our leaders value personal freedom. All this personal freedom that stops the government from stepping into my life.

My phone is broken in 5 different ways and I pay $7 a month on the cheapest pre-paid deal I could find.

Power button fell off, screen is cracked, volume button fell off, the side cracked off and the silicon is showing, there's something stuck in the audio jack, and the USB port only charges at an angle. 6. Still use it about an hour every day.

Sprint was on its way to bankruptcy as it was, and while this isn't ideal the alternative outcomes had potential to be far worse.

Sprint was trashtastic.

They kept talking about a 1% difference with Verizon. If thats true then I just so happened to always be in those 1% of areas with Sprint. Dropped calls never happen on Verizon but on sprint its the norm.

I don't see a problem with this. Sprint is not doing well. Buying up sprint won't have a significant impact on competition

JUDGE MARRERO THINKS SPRINT IS A BAD COMPANY WITH A CRAP NETWORK RUN BY DUMMIES

This is objectively true. I've had a T-Mobile device and a Sprint device, and as recently as last year, there was no comparison in the service.

Sprint is terriband and needs to be bailed out by a wireless provider with actual infrastructure.
