While i appreciate you putting the issues of people of color center stage I do think you need to give the complete picture here so that people are properly informed. First, T-mobile will not remain on it’s own because it’s parent company has already made comments that it will no longer invest in it so someone needs to acquire it or everyone who works for T-mobile will lose their jobs. I think you can agree that is worse than any jobs the could change due to a merger. Also you don’t mention that the merger will allow for coverage for close to 97% of Americans most of which are people in color and people in rural areas that currently don’t have access at all. The merger will allow this to happen faster and more efficientl­y than through a build out. You seem to have an issue with AT&T prices but you also want them to so things in a way that would surely drive prices up.
You also don’t mention the jobs that would be created by the rollout of the combined 4G LTE network that would put even faster mobile access in the hands of people of color.
