I think the FCC is doing the right thing and keeping the competition as fair as possible.

sure, AT&T and Verizon have MUCH better networks than t-mobile and cricket (meaning you get what you pay for), but with out those other companies showing you that cellular service doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg, there wouldn't have been questionable issues stirring up the FCC
Cricket actually doesn't have too bad of service out here.
They're phones are crappy, but they actually have pretty good service out here now.
I remember when they first started and their aim was to create a wireless home phone. haha.
(atleast in my neighborhood that's what they said.)

hahaha. Gotta love Capitalistic America.
I'm not even sure if they'll get a fine,
the two companies will prolly give a kickback to those investigating...
I should go to work for the FCC haha.

Well technically they won't be able to do that. Not merge anyways.
It will become a HUGE monopoly(not like verizon isn't already),
but one way to get around that is to keep the companies separate,
but be subsidiaries of each other.
Meaning basically that they're merged behind the scenes.
Another point for Capitalistic America!! Woo!
