In the end, all of AT&T's customers and all of T-Mobile's customers are going to be left with AT&T's crappy quality of service, except, well, being slightly worse. That's what I'm talking about here.
3G, 4G, LTE, it doesn't matter. The technology isn't the problem. It's the lack of competition and business practices. The business wins and the consumers lose. And, given few options (which is why antitrust laws are supposed to be enforced), innovation is discouraged, and we're stuck with garbage.
Still happy about this?
