In the short term, Kvaal argues that disruption from T-Mobile's efforts to integrate its and Sprint's customers is likely to spike "churn" at the latter company, and predicts at least some Sprint customers will jump ship for AT&T or Verizon

I agree that the network integration will be especially painful, even for those already used to poor coverage like Sprint customers. That said, I think the MVNO’s of the world stand to benefit more from it (Xfinity Mobile, Charter Mobile, Cricket, Straight Talk, Pure Talk, etc, etc). People are at Sprint because it was cheaper. Don’t see them coming to T. And people are starting to figure out that they are generally getting the same service at the MVNO at a fraction of the price.
We treat our customers like dirt and most folks know that. They won’t choose AT&T.
They always say...to expensive....when they can get a signal! Lol
I know people that have Sprint now that wouldn’t touch AT&T with a 10 foot pole- they always say: “too expensive”. They also left Verizon years ago. So not quite sure about this prediction.
This analysis of the merger pegs Verizon as the biggest loser, and neutral to AT&T, based on spectrum.

“For AT&T, the deal is probably a net neutral.”
Of course, being only 3 of them, they could collude to jack up prices, and all of them win.
This could be good for wireless assuming they don't neglect the network too much. They could add a few million subs if they pay attention.
Lol good one.
