Interesting Bloomberg interview with Denny Strigl, former Verizon CEO. Typical CEO sounding guy, but he touched on some good points regardless. Naturally, he spoke on the wireless industry from the business rather than technical aspect. He also spoke on a potential SoftBank/Sprint and T-Mobile merger. For one he says that AT&T should've been allowed to buy T-Mobile and similarly that SoftBank/Sprint should also be allowed to acquire T-Mobile. They hosts tried to goad him into saying something about John Legere, but he wouldn't take the bait for the most part. Worth a look if one has 11 minutes or so to kill.
Among other things:
This potential merger is seeming more and more like a horrible idea, and NOT because of any technological or integration issues. They'd do well to spend their money elsewhere for the time being and let T-Mobile see if they can continue doing what they're doing over the long-term.
