AT&T defends T-Mobile purchase
AT&T is defending its pending purchase of T-Mobile USA by saying the united company would actually improve data in major cities like New York City for example. This comes on the heels of Sprint objecting to the merger. My take on it is I don't think the merger will have a huge impact on competition, if this were AT&T buying Verizon, then yeah it would be a big huge deal that should be scrutinized. Course maybe this is why they are holding back the speed performance of the Motorola Atrix and HTC Inspire phones.

His current net worth for the record is only $13 Billion. Paul, shut up!
