First! Also, thank goodness. I am more of a CDMA user, and I have Sprint, so I am glad this is falling thru. I wonder if they are going to pay tmo that $6 billion...

HA!!!! WIN!!!

Glad it didn't go through. I think this merger would have hurt the consumer in the long run with limited carrier choices.

"In the absence of such steps, customers will be harmed and needed investment will be stifled."
Harmed? I expect the network would still be pretty bad with or without the merge, the only difference now that the merge was prevented and AT&T gave up, there is still another okay GSM carrier to run to.

Yay! I am so happy that this merger did not go through. People have their opinions about T-Mobile and everything else but I love TMO. I could not be happier right now :)

Never wanted to be part of the Death Star company! Did that once, it hurt!

I am so happy about this! I work for t-mobile and I was concerned about keeping my job.. So now at least I know I still have a job!

I am so elated, there are no words to describe my joy. This is a world-wide win.

First time in recent memory that the federal government has done something right. I am so happy.

OH happy day!!! :D

The Dark Side of the Cell Force has lost. This is good!

"customers will be harmed" (not me) even tho Tmo service isn't the greatest where I live, I can't imagine having crap service AND a rate hike on ATT...

Before everyone hails this as a great thing, you might want to read up on D.Telecom and their lack of enthusiasm for investing anymore $$ into their T-Mobile company. It's been made clear that they DO NOT want to spend any more money on T-Mobile in the future & that may really hurt customers in the long run - somebody is going to buy them eventually....... D. Telecom has made that clear with their possible lack of future support for T-Mobile.

I know that I'm happy about this news. As a Canadian travelling to the US I like having a choice of not using AT&T. Especially at events like CES - imagine if the entire gadget world descended on Las Vegas and were hammering away at AT&T's 3G-3.5G-4G (whatever you want to call it).

I find that using T-Mobile EDGE is better than whatever G AT&T serves up.

oh ya, lmao, att is out for saving spectrum for the average user - yep, i believe it, att has never been known to want to monopolize telephony, their intentions for this "merger" were strictly for the benefit of usa consumers, omg, wow, such a great corporate citizen, always looking out for your best interets

pack o lies, glad it didn't happen

Any cell phone provider in my area that was gobbled up by AT&T immediately went to pot. Its not like they are doing anyone a service with this merger. Just their own bottom line.

Woohoo, score one for the consumer, for once good job FCC!

Lol comment about Carly trading in pink dress for blue made me laugh haha :-)

Yeah I like her better in magenta!

This is the best Christmas gift from the Government really!

I have been with T-mobile and been loyal to this company for almost 7 years, I have the best deals in data plan, minutes and no one, no one can give me a better deal.

Tmobile, I will continue with you and my family is very happy too.

Great customer service, great service in data and great service in communication.

I was concerned that ATT will change my data plan and make more money but thanks God this did not happen!

May be there are miracles on for consumers tooo... Too bad in Canada I am freezing from cold air blown by Bell, Billus and Robbers.

Been with AT&T since 2005 and have always had better service than my co-workers. To each his own since the more companies the more competitive the value of my dollar. I work in a sub-basement and everything my BlackBerry has to offer from GPS to internet works perfectly while my co-workers have their family call them on a landline since their service is garbage. I must admit that it costs more than TMo, but its as its always been "you get what you pay for". LOL My brother's carrier is T and he can't go to his FB while on a call without his phone hanging up. But like I said, to each his own. Peace! PS I love my BB phone and PlayBook, BlackBerry Bridge FTW.

Whooooooooo!!!!! I'm so happy the merger fell through, GO T-Mobile!

Thank God. !

Thank GOD!!!!! I did NOT wanna be involved in that evil scam
