It means prices are going up and freedom is going down.

It means your pleasurable wireless Internet experience is over... I hate AT&T with every fiber of my being. The service is garbage, their customer service is garbage and I am not looking forward to anything good from them. Sprint is not a consideration and Verizon is just as obnoxiously annoying as AT&T. Who wants CDMA?? FML..!!!

For all of the market-speak in the press release, you would think this is great for all parties involved... hardly.
The clear winner in this is AT&T... T-Mobile has, for all intents and purposes, exited the US market - much like a field mouse exits an owl's beak after it's done with it.
Hopefully, like SunCom and OmniPoint before, I'll be able to keep my current non-contract EvenMore Plus pricing... but I'm sure that I'll lose my "Equipment Installment Plan" option and will need to "migrate to a currently marketed rate plan" when I'm deemed to be costing them too much money.
Of course, I can always change carriers...
Let's see, who else...

Oh... nevermind...

- Simple Mobile : MNVO of T-Mobile... probably not long for this world either.
- Cincinnati Bell - Don't live in SW Ohio anymore.
- WalMart Family Wireless - Another MNVO of T-Mo. More expensive for data than others.
- GCI Wireless - Don't live in Alaska.

Yeah we're ****ed. I'm not looking forward to this at all. Hell, I ain't paying for tethering, I'll tell you that much.
Good news, our contracts will have to be honored atleast until the two years are up.

I'm glad I don't use SIM cards, nor any cellphone provider.
