DMAO!!!!
TOLD Y'ALL !!! Now Paulson needs to pull his head out of his a$$ ,although he trying to squeeze more money,and get with it. It'll be good for the industry and customers alike.My friend is leaving AT@T FOR TMobile,but he wants to see what the GSIV is coming with or just get the Note II.

Now let's see what the two big dogs have to say as well as Sprint.

How is this going to work?
Since T-mobile is GSM and Metro is CDMA I'm assuming (hoping) that phone calls, text, 3G and HSDPA will all stay and be handled by the T-mobile side and the Metro side will be gutted basically and just use all those CDMA towers for LTE

Essentially.

There are somewhat detailed plans posted with the proposal. CDMA gets shut down and converted to HSPA+ and/or LTE/LTE-Advanced. Won't be immediate, of course, will take years
