I wouldn't think it'd be too bad. I don't think the two companies would have a lot of overlap. I'm sure some people in marketing or accounting maybe.

Yep, and probably opening the door for more mergers/buyouts to follow.

Can someone explain how this will benefit consumers? How will this not lessen our choices or options?
I’m just not seeing a benefit for us.

Not excited considering either Disney or Comcast is about to buy Fox and my job will be possibly redundant.

We are going to find out soon enough. Verizon appears to be serious about deploying 5G, to the point that they seemingly have no interest in cable or content, the two things AT&T apparently thinks are most important.

The new CEO is all about 5G. It’s why he was hired after his stint at Ericcson and put into the CEO role after only a year with Verizon. Verizon is “all in” on 5G. |

Hopefully he does slightly better than he did at Erickson. Lowell obviously saw something in him. There is a lot of leadership changes at VZW however so it will be interesting to see how it all plays out. As long as they are the front runner in 5G everything will be good for them.
