Could a T-Mobile/Sprint merger threaten Verizon and AT&T?

[iMore.com]

T-Mobile US CEO John Legere has said that a possible merger with Sprint may offer substantial competition to the wireless "duopoly" of Verizon and AT&T. A merger between the two carriers may soon be a reality, if SoftBank, the Japanese carrier that now owns Sprint, successfully purchases T-Mobile US.

There's going to be a lot of work that needs to be put in if there is a merger.

I don't know about threatening Verizon , but a merger in some area areas could be a good thing.

I just hope it doesn't interfere with the unlimited (T-mobile)...

It'd be interesting but I don't know that it'd threaten Verizon or AT&T

Given that Verizon and AT&T just posted increases in their subscriber base from last year, I must say this merger won't likely cause a dent in the two giants' ongoing success.

I just feel this merger will be a mess. Sprint has been making bad decisions as of late. I just don't want to lose unlimited, nor see a massive price hike. I just hope they'll honor grandfathered plans. The unlimited already went up $10...

They'd have to really work together to get anywhere near the success of the big two.

I don't care if T-Mobile and Sprint merge as long as someone adds me too their Framily and pays the bill.
