The FTC could careless they are looking at the taxable outcome of the deal nothing else. Having atleast a four year freeze on any specturm changes following the close of the deal.

Considering how our lawmakers are bought by big business, I will be surprised if this deal doesn't blaze through.

omg, you people sound so depressing.
Use google and stop being a bunch of cry-babies:
Use google and stop being a bunch of cry-babies:
This merger will not likely take place or be completed for another year. As of now both AT&T and T-Mobile will operate as two separate and independent companies. However, here is what you can expect when the merger is complete:
An agreement was announced under which AT&T will acquire T-Mobile USA. The agreement is the first step in a process that, including regulatory approvals, is expected to be completed in approximately 12 months. Until then, we remain a separate company and continue to operate independently.
We know our customers, business partners and others may have many questions.
Here is some more information:
Will my service change?
There is no change in your service and we remain committed to ensuring you have the best experience possible experience using your T-Mobile USA products and services.
Will I now be billed by AT&T?
No, your billing remains exactly the same. T-Mobile USA continues to operate as an independent company. As always, you would receive advance notice to any changes to your services.
Why is T-Mobile USA doing this?
Bringing together these two world-class businesses will create significant benefits for customers. The merger will ensure the deployment of a robust 4G LTE network to 95% of the U.S. population, something neither company would achieve on its own. Also, because of our compatible networks and spectrum, the customers of T-Mobile USA and AT&T will experience improved voice and data service almost immediately after the networks are integrated.
Will T-Mobile USA’s quality be reduced?
No. In fact, the combination of AT&T and T-Mobile USA will offer an even stronger service to customers. Until the acquisition is closed, we will work hard to maintain our position as the value leader with America’s largest 4G network.
If the acquisition closes, will I still be able to use my T-Mobile USA phone?
Yes. Your T-Mobile USA device will operate the same in the future as it does today.
Should I wait to sign-up with T-Mobile USA or upgrade my phone?
No, T-Mobile USA offers the latest wireless devices that are affordable on America’s Largest 4G Network and the combination of AT&T and T-Mobile USA will mean even stronger service for our customers. Now is a great time to be a T-Mobile customer.
Is T-Mobile USA getting the iPhone?
T-Mobile USA remains an independent company. The acquisition is expected to be completed in approximately 12 months. We do not offer the iPhone. We offer cutting edge devices like the Samsung Galaxy S 4G and coming soon our new Sidekick 4G.
***you can still purchase and unlock an iphone 3GS or purchase an unlocked iphone 3GS and use it on the T-mobile network, however I would recommend waiting until the merger is complete before doing so as I am not sure if an unlocked iphone will be affected by the change.***
Will my rate plan change because of the acquisition?
We will honor all customer contracts entered into before the change of ownership.

We will honor all customer contracts entered into before the change of ownership.
So does this mean if I signed a new 2-year agreement in 6 months time while the deal was still unfinished, the new AT&T would have to honor that contract, with all the whistles and bells that came with it until say August 2013?
