I can still remember back in the day when Ma Bell reigned over everyone in the United States. If you had a phone, you did business with Ma Bell, and no one else. For me at least, that was when the whole anti-trust thing came up and the government broke Ma Bell up into a myriad of companies. Telling us that no one company should be so big and all-empowered, and that competition for consumer dollars would be good for us.
Whatever happened to the government that did this? AT_T has announced that they're going to gobble up T-Mobile for a reported $39 billion dollars. Which would leave the United States with just 3 wireless carriers, AT_T, Verizon and Sprint. I don't want to live with just 3 choices, Hell! I don't think 4 was enough! If AT_T is allowed to buy T-mobile, then it's apparent that our government has been seriously compromised by corporate America.
