So AT&T wants to acquire T-Mobile's market share concentrating the wireless marketplace so that 3 carriers control over 90% of the market. Would anyone buy the bogus argument that No. 2 Delta Airline's acqusition of No. 4 American would "promote competition"? Does anyone notice that mergers are job killing? Does the FCC and the Justice Department have the courage to say no?
Bear in mind the FCC rarely refuses to approve with conditions market concentrating mergers. For wireless the FCC has abandoned spectrum caps and making new spectrum available only to new market bidders.
I predict that months from now the FCC will find a way to frame this merger as something really great for consumers. Bogus!
