    sdr: Open a bank, completely fuck it off by losing all of your client’s money and then call the gubment for a bailout. Problem solved and Merry Christmas bonuses, all at the same time!

    AT&T should have waited for a Republican administration which would view large mergers more favorably. But in the tech world a few years is an eternity.

    AT&T was offering $39 Bil for T-Mobile, since the deal fell through AT&T had to pay $4 Bil to T-Mobile for the purchase failure. I guess my cell rates for AT&T are going to go up for this screw up.

    It just means you’ll get shittier service, more dropped calls, slower data rates…

    Sprint and Verizon still are the bomb and Tmobile ain’t bad at all.

    Maybe we can see a sprint and tmobile tieup.

    I have to say that AT&T has been really good to me ever since about Y2K. I get 23% discount.

    I don’t really see the benefit of paying more for Verizon which is always subtantially more, unless you get good a corporate discount.

    Sprint is a better deal, IMO.

    I like that the iPhone 4S on Verizon and Sprint now can take sim cards and can be unlocked for foreign sims.

    Actually Simple Mobile (T-Mobile MVNO) and Smart Talk (AT&T MVNO) have great rates if you have your own device.
