Wireless Mergers

When my non-techie sister-in-law has disconnected her landline telephone and the only phone in the house is a cell, I know it's more that an isolated case, it must be a "movement." (Cultural reference to Arlo Guthrie and Alice's Restaurant.) The Sprint/Nextel merger is predicated on exactly this "movement" and is a deal to seal up as much wireless spectrum as quickly as possible under one roof.

Spectrum is the new "real estate." As has been said regarding real estate, they aren't making anymore. That'll be true unless and until, there is a quantum leap in technology. Until then, expect more of the mergers.
