You have a Duoply for Broadband ( or worse ), now a leaked document shows the AT&T is gunning for the same thing for wireless

How do you think *THAT* will work out?

From DSL Reports:

The leaked document shows that AT&T is eliminating the T-Mobile presence in the markets where they overlap, which is basically all of them, and doesn't need the extra spectrum - it already has more than anyone else and less customers, and we can see from the iPhone fanbots how they like that.

It also shows that they will largely use it to eliminate Sprint, leaving the market to 2 providers.  Don't like either one of them?  Maybe Radio Shack will still be around to buy a walkie talkie?

The leaked AT&T document shows shows that instead of the promised $8 billion increase in network investment after the deal, it will be a $10 billion *decrease*, based on the lack of the expected $18B that T-Mobile will be doing.

Is the market big enough for 4 carriers?  I think so. 

Will the FCC roll over and let the consumers lose?  With an election so close?  I think it comes down to how much influence the geeks have - do you think we can pull this off?
