Trouble in the mobile market Part 3

Trouble in the Mobile Market? Part 2

Recently, there has been a lot of news about the AT&T/T-Mobile merger.  In this day and age where everyday, the news is filled with "(insert company) Is Too Big To Fail", is there anyone watching out for the consumer?  Here is a link to a news story about the merger:  http://www.technewsworld.com/story/72134.html?wlc=1301060102

Just FYI, it seems like everyday, the big companies forming monopolies are able to get what they want out of the consumer.  Our economy is based on the consumers, the everyday people, making decisions.  If there is a company that is moving jobs overseas, we can show them what we think about that by not buying their products.  We are allowed to buy the products we want from the companies we want.  There is a spoken word album (although a little dated) that can be found on iTunes that I recommend called "Stuff You Should Know's Super Stuffed Guide to the Economy".  The album goes into detail about how the American economy works, both micro and macro.  If you have any questions about the American economy, listen to this.  It can be found at the following link:  http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/stuff-you-should-know-super/id308953962.  You do not need an iPod to listen to it.  You just need a computer with iTunes installed.  iTunes is a free download available at:  www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
