I think you missed the part of the original posting where the 3% of the non-Android malware referred to Symbian. There were no instances of malware on iOS.

My point was that there would be only three major carriers in either case. That is the DOJ's objection.

Sizes of the companies is irrelevant.

T-Mobile would be worse off without a merger since they are treading water as it is. They have no ability to invest in LTE deployment.

DT is dropping them and there will likely be no T-Mobile.

If the DOJ blocks the AT&T merger with them, they sure as hell won't allow Sprint to buy them on the very same grounds regarding reducing competition, etc.

T-Mobile is hardly the victim here, nor AT&T the aggressor, it is T-Mobile's parent company that wants to get rid of them. Since AT&T is the most logical buyer, how can you blame them?

...think that Sprint's suit for "advocacy on behalf of consumers" carries just a wee bit less weight than that of the DOJ's suit?

No, they *are* going out of business because Deutsche Telekom is getting rid of their US operations.

It is split up now - between Verizon and AT&T. They both are comprised of Baby Bells.

I agree - I just don't see the connection.

I've been using Amazon Fresh for a couple of years now and it is a great service. I usually use the unattended pre-dawn delivery (shows up on my doorstep between 4 and 6AM). Saves me lugging groceries up a few flights of stairs.

The delivery charge is reasonable (approx $6 - $7, I think) but delivery is free if you order at least $200 a month.

The minimum order is $30.

I don't know if they intend to expand beyond of the Seattle area.

I view this as doubleplusungood.

... Linux runs it!

Dr. Evil, there isn't that much money in the entire world!

Why on earth do folks persist in the rumor that AT&T (and all other major carriers) are not spending many billions of dollars every quarter on cell towers and backhaul improvements? That notion is ludicrous.

I'm not sure that you can actually "buy" customer service improvements, though I doubt it would cost billions.

Cool. The chart's origin is from the Reed Research Reactor staff.

Fun fact: the research reactor at Reed College is the only nuclear reactor in a private college in the US.

I'm a Reedie alumnus and proud of it!

AT&T was misquoted. They never claimed that they had a dropped call rate of 0.1% - they said that "our dropped call rate is within 1/10 of a percent – the equivalent of just one call in a thousand – of the industry leader.”

The article that Slashdot linked to does not state what Slashdot says in their summary above - try to actually read your sources first Slashdot!

Sounds like excellent stats to me.

Personally, I've never had a single dropped call with AT&T.

Makes you wonder if most folks that take these surveys actually have had dropped calls with AT&T (or have even ever used AT&T!) or are merely repeating what they've heard from others.
