In a deal that makes a lot more sense than the ones that have been rumored, AT&T is buying T-Mobile USA for $39 billion, or slightly more than $100 per customer. The two networks both use the same GSM technology, which makes the integration relatively straightforward.
Comments that this will increase prices are almost certainly true, since T-Mo has some of the best prices around.
