Like Clint, Chrysler knows a bit about making a spaghetti western.
On a related note, WalMart has announced that asteroids will soon be available, 3 ounces for only $4.97, in a convenient blister-pack.
That merger was the single greatest clusterf**k in the history of corporate combinations. The fact remains, though, that neither Sprint nor T-Mo has the scale to succeed independently in the face of the high fixed costs needed to operate nationwide wireless networks.
Perhaps LTE offers a mutual point of convergence. Not sure where the cash would come from, though.

As a practical matter, that is a concern in that AT&T would have a significant advantage in device costs for the short time that cutting-edge devices are GSM-based (ROW is predominantly GSM). I doubt, though, that DOJ took that into consideration as most consumers could care less what protocol their network uses.
It could be argued that CDMA is the superior technology but I suspect that Sprint has learned its lesson about daring to be different and global economies of scale.

Anything can happen but I'd be surprised if Google buys a carrier. Given their core business, they have more to gain by playing nice with the ecosystem than they do by going into competition. Even the Moto purchase can credibly be seen as an attempt to help their OEM partners defend against IP claims related to Android.
If GOOG wanted to buy a carrier, they've had ample opportunity with both Sprint and TMO.

Let's assume for the sake of argument that you agree with this decision. Should T-Mobile and Sprint be allowed to merge? Why or why not?
Gets my vote...
Yeah, I don't get back here much.
Is this headline Jalopnik's most elaborate attempt to grab traffic ever?
No. Sadly.

Skaycog does like a good stiff ... drink.

You always post that pic as if there's something wrong with greasy fingernails. If there's anything Alfa ownership has taught me, it's that greasiness is next to godliness. #oppositelock

How does the Polish Army destroy a bus with a howitzer?
Sorry, MZS, sometimes you gotta go with the obvious.

I wouldn't pay. If it comes back on me, I'd ask to see the carbon of the ticket.
That's nothing, you should see me after Friday night at the bar.
@stayingclassy: Do you find yourself trying to pick your own pocket?
@redbadge: Yeah, like there's such a thing as a scrupulous gypsy.
@IfOnlyIHadTheMoney: Just don't ask him to take your car out for a test drie.
