Very surprising indeed. I knew that Deutsche Telekom was trying to sell off T-Mobile USA, but everything that I had been hearing was about a T-Mobile/Sprint merger. The only positive thing that I can see coming from this is better GSM coverage across the country. Negatives are less competition leading to higher prices and likely bandwidth clogging on the AT&T/T-Mobile network.

On the bright side, we won't be seeing those stupid T-Mobile commercials that rip off those stupid Mac commercials anymore. :P
