Yay! Letting corporations do what they want is great for the economy. Now we all will have to pay more for less service than ever before, because AT&T will find a way to complain that their new infrastructure and customer base can't handle their new customer base. Meanwhile people will mention how awesome it is when companies are free to act as they please because of some religious devotion to the idea "free markets are good for the consumers".

I love this country.

This is rather depressing for many reasons, including that I am a T-mo customer... maybe not for much longer though.
