The FCC is probing into T-Mobile's proposed $1.3 billion purchase of Mint Mobile, which is fronted by actor Ryan Reynolds. The agency asked a range of questions about cybersecurity, distribution and public-interest benefits.
I think some things can be beneficial to customers. For example, with the T-Mobile and Sprint merger, we got a ton more spectrum, and so speeds are super fast now. And we also got the T-Mobile Connect plans, which is what I use.
There’s lots of things like Google where ubiquity provides simplicity and speed but it also creates a terrible dilemma if the share holder ever has a desire to make profit at the expense of the userbase. So it might be beneficial for now or there might be a silver lining but there is no promise it will always be that way.
In the end T-Mobile is driven by profits not your happiness and if at any point your unhappiness becomes profitable you’re out of options.

Now that is a good point.
