Urgent: Block merger of T-Mobile and Sprint
US citizens: call on the FCC to
block
the merger of T-Mobile and
Sprint.
There is far too little competition among phone radio networks already.
Any decrease is clearly bad.
Of course, there are more important problems with mobile phones. For
instance, both cellular and WiFi connections track the phone's
location, and the phone can be made to listen and transmit all the
time. (That last is a consequence of nonfree software in the phone's
radio processor.) By contrast with that, the increased price caused
by insufficient competition is a superficial issue. It is,
nonetheless, bad to decrease the competition.
