As the President of the National Wireless Independent Dealer Association, let me clarify something.
We are not against the merger, per se. We are, however, against it without a definitive statement about the indirect channel of both carriers. The "new T-Mobile" will not continue to have Boost, Metro PCS AND Virgin. It makes the most sense for them to jettison Boost and it's 8000 independent stores. To date, Peter Adderton is the only one who has said he would keep all 8000 and we support him in his efforts.
