We are currently in "merger insanity". I'm wondering how many companies will be left before this ends?

I don't know if Sprint would survive if not for the T-Mobile acquisition. They have a lot of debt. I think the most these states will get is some restrictions on T-Mobile.

This merger doesn't reduce total companies though, since Sprint was very clearly going out of business without it.
