As founder of @boostmobile one of the largest prepaid Brand's in the USA and a direct target of this merger, I would be pleased to be at this hearing to give my insight into why this merger is Bad for low income consumers.
Consumers today only have 4 choices for national wireless carriers. A T-Mobile-Sprint merger would lower that to 3, offering Americans even less choice. There needs to be a Senate Commerce hearing before any mega-merger is allowed to go through and threaten competition.pic.twitter.com/KB6bbCOpIu

@WaltBTIG I'm not sure that 2 titans, a 3rd wannabe carrier that does marketing really well and a 4th carrier that probably can't remain solvent on their own is better than 3 strong players.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

So limiting choice in phones is bad because prices will rise and we don't " trust" business. But Gov limiting choices is always good. Huh.

The merger is needed to be competitive with ATT and VZ. There are bigger issues to address, including re-opening the government and paying your military.

Too many major buyouts create a system of too big to fail. The Bell split was to spark innovation. Wireless is limited in some ways due to its band and FCC regulations. But we need more options other than having 10 carriers selling the same network.
