#TMobile #Sprint #Merger #ATT #Verizon #Dish A bigger-is-better mentality has swept the tech and media industries over the past 18 months, as companies have spent $200 billion on a series of megamergers that have reshaped the American business landscape. The Trump administration has  mostly  been a cheerleader for the corporate supersizing. And on Tuesday a federal judge ruled in favor of T-Mobile’s planned takeover of Sprint. The long-in-the-works merger would combine the nation’s third- and fourth-largest wireless carriers, creating a telecommunications giant to take on AT&T and Verizon. The new company, to be called T-Mobile, would have about 100 million customers. The deal has come about as digital technology has woven itself into the fabric of daily life, changing how people use their phones and forcing wireless carriers, television networks and movie studios to move away from the analog systems that once dominated the entertainment and communications industries.

#ATT #Boost #Cricket #MetroPCS  #prepaidwireless #Sprint #TMobile #Verizon By   Kent German   July 5, 2018 Everyone needs a phone, but not everyone wants to sign anything resembling a carrier contract to get one. Maybe you'd rather pay only for the service you absolutely need while avoiding extra fees or maybe you just don't want to submit to a credit check. Whatever your reason, a prepaid plan can be a brilliant option. When I lived in London for three years, I used a T-Mobile prepaid plan during the weeks when I returned home for visits. It let me keep my longtime US number and I wasn't paying for service I didn't use when I was in England. (My UK carrier, Three, gave me free data roaming in the US, but that came with its own set of complications.) Like with postpaid carrier plans, sorting through the maze or prepaid options isn't easy, especially as you jump between the sometimes-made-to-be-confusing websites of several carriers. Bette
