FCC Approves T-Mobile/MetroPCS Acquisition
"reverse merger"?. . .
What exactly is a "reverse merger"? My thinking is T-Mobile is a bigger company both financially, customer base, and name recognition.

Who is taking whose name?

Why would you want that? Nobody is killing anyone. If anything, Softbank/Sprint will buy T-Mobile USA down the road.

Sprint and T-Mobile have actually done a remarkable job with cornering the prepaid market. Look for that to continue; however, I think that T-mobile will kick it up a notch. I don't think T-mobile is done yet with purchasing.
