If you knew that AT&T was more pro-business and less customer relations and opposed things that you favored would you sell out to them?   May be because the Huffington Post was seen as a prominent force in support of President Obama.   I wonder now how Huffington Post will change now that they owe this publication. I asked this question because of the recent email I received from Michael Kieschnick, President of Credo Mobile titled HOW   VERIZON   AND   AT&T   HAVE SUPPORTED THE   RIGHT WING   — AND WHY YOU SHOULD   SWITCH TO CREDO MOBILE in this email what I think was important to see was “d oes your company support politicians   directly   opposed to your values?   Both   AT&T   and  Verizon Wireless  supported politicians who are out to deregulate corporations and scuttle climate change regulation.

The combined company would serve about 43 percent of U.S. cell phones”, but this was more than just a business deal.  Even though shareholders will be excited and happy about the news, those who came to embrace T-Mobile will soon find quite a bit to be discouraged about.  The majority of those who embraced T-Mobile were middle class and poor Americans. The real reason behind the acquisition was nothing more than one company trying to out do the other and to reduce competition so that only a few could demand the telecommunication and internet stage.  Proof of this is evident in the quotes found in this very article, quotes like, “T-Mobile USA customers would get access to AT&T's phone line-up, including...
