Not sure how or if this will effect the average T-Mobile user.

I seen somethin about this yesterday. All I know is if T-Mobile buys metro, and MetroPcs starts using Tmo towers and tmo's network, but keeps metro's prices, then I'm going to metro for sure

When tmo buys it, there won't be any metro, it's gonna most likely be phased out, T-mo just wants their towers and customers.

It's a reverse merger. At first T-Mobile owns 76%, but eventually metro owns it and keeps the T-Mobile name. I'm a T-Mobile customer, but I'm all for it.

Do tell how 24% becomes 100%, the logic is great, do enlighten us.

Wrong.
T-Mobile owns 76% and has the right to sell its stake in the combined company at any time. It's a merger, keeping T-Mobile name with an exit door for DT if they so desire.

Did you notice the article you got this reverse merger idea from stated it as OPINION?

The deal between T-Mobile and MetroPCS is actually considered a reverse-merger, in the sense that it is set up for MetroPCS is effectively “take over” the larger T-Mobile USA. This is being done so that Deutsche Telekom can receive 74% of the new T-Mobile and the “new company” can be listed on the stock exchange, as MetroPCS is already a publicly listed company. This maneuver offers Deutsche Telekom a way out of the US market, if they wished to do so by selling off their shares at a later date.

Folks with current TMO Phones won't be impacted, because MetroPCS is CDMA & TMO is of course GSM.

Unless Metro has a huge warehouse of paid-for LTE stuff... I don't see why TMO would even want them, as the networks/hardware are incompatible.

ETA: Apparently it's all over spectrum licensing... TMO gets Metro's spectrum in markets where there's no (or not enough) TMO presence... They plan to shut down the CDMA network and make all MetroPCS customers switch to GSM phones.

Geez, is not a debate, what I said wasn't untrue except I meant 74% not 76%. And yes, the reverse merger could be the writers opinion. Sorry for adding info. Now I know better than to try to contribute to a forum.

That's a smart move from tmobile because all networks including metro are moving faster to lte, infact metro has lte and tmobile doesn't but tmobile is soon getting it. All networks will soon have lte merging into a global network.

Don't we still have to wait for fcc to approve it

Yeah approval is still needed, but there isn't nearly as much push back about this merger as there was when at&t tried to do their thing, making it seem more likely. But still only time will tell.
