Excellent, I've been waiting for news like this. I've wanted to get off Big Red's train for awhile. Now I just have to hold out for the iPhone 6

I'm happy about this, I don't think Sprint was the right option.

Unbelievably happy for this news, I didn't want that merger to go through. After all the disruption that T-Mobile has caused in the industry, it would be disappointing to see it get pulled into Sprint.

For once the regulators do something good.

Hopefully tmo can stick around, because if they end up faltering and being gone in a few years it would be a shame.

Totally agree! I don't see them going anywhere right now. I haven't seen their financial specs, I heard they are downdue to Uncarrier, but I'm not really worried. Tmo are the cool kids of the wireless industry.

I feel the same, but looking at them a few years ago, things can change quick so even though they are doing great now, that all could change (let's hope not)
