We're talking about the two smaller of the big players. And Sprint hasn't shown a profit in ages, right? Meanwhile, T-Mobile tends to compete more with AT&T and VZ to snag customers away as a value offering. Meanwhile, other, smaller carriers are growing and gaining attention.

I suspect they really really need one another to make a complete service. I won't be switching if they do merge. I suspect the merge could improve competition in the wireless industry (it could use a bump).
