> Let's not forget the US Govt blocked an attempted Sprint + T-Mobile merger to produce a viable third competitor in the space, ironically, in the name of competition.

I don't agree with you on this. A merger is never good for a consumer. I'm actually very glad it turned out this way. The purchase of T-Mobile by AT&T was also blocked and as an result of this T-mobile received $3B which they promptly invested to improve their infrastructure.

Now T-Mobile is a viable competitor to AT&T and Verizon and we still have extra choice which is Sprint.
