The fear and loathing index on AT&T's proposed acquisition of T-Mobile just keeps rising. The latest negative input comes from The Economist in an editorial titled "Not so fast, Ma Bell." The magazine blows off AT&T's claim that the merger will "further improve the customer experience" by making AT&T more competitive with Verizon.
"This new-found zeal for serving consumers needs to be taken with a pinch of salt," the essay warns. "AT&T now gets the worst customer-satisfaction ratings among the main mobile operators. The deeper question is whether two [big carriers] is enough, especially in a business that is evolving as fast, and becoming as important to people's lives, as mobile communications."
