The Zack: First of all, even though I'm not aware of the inner-workings of the deal it is very likely that the FCC and other relevant agencies will approve this since it doesn't fall within the scope of monopoly. 2ndly, my personal service provider is T-Mobile thus, I know the lucrative data plans of T-Mobile however, do you think that ATT, Verizon and Sprint can not compete with the same prices if they exploit the producer surpluses in their respective spectrum like T-Mobile is?. Clearly, other providers use price discrimination more frugally and milk efficiently the consumer surplus of the demand and supply. I'm not saying that the acquisition is not a news maker but its impact is minimal. 30 million more customers for ATT is something but not a game changer. Be mind many loyal, current T-mobile customers will switch soon after the take over is finalized if ATT doesn't respect the purchasing power of existing customers. It is to their own benefit that these lucrative data plans be altered minimally. Finally, when I said Skype, vodafone and others will fill the gap I didn't ignore that one needed a data plan.... but remember ATT, Verizon and Sprint are not the only ones which provide data plans.... my intention was you can get connection from a library, coffee shop and home...... use the service on someone else's expenses..... I still stand by that this acquisition will not have a drastic impact on our way of life. And let us see if Verizon makes an offer to Sprint.

Is the man dead and this so called Mole has found a passage to paradise and after interviewing the Mujahid returned to share his findings. Or the more likely scenario is that this is a lie just like the claim you killed the Mujahid. Btw, if you have to lie at least make beliveable. No point in fabricating something only the faithful and desperate will swallow. Falaadhi gilgilasho kaagama go'do.

SSC must have a reason to fight with such schizophrenic extremists who are suffering insecurity and lack of mutual respect with their neighbors.

It appears the regulatory body will approve the deal but I assure you this industry is hard to monopolize therefore nothing to be alarmed. Skype and others will fill the gap and other technologies will emerge as well... I would worry more if Shell, BP, ExxonMobil and other major oil companies merge .... ATT has to still maximize the portfolios of its shareholder but it has to stay competitive and profitable at the same time. The end consumer will dictate how much the consumers are willing to pay ...

Can we get alone is all I ask? if history has any importance; contrary to their wishes - Isa-aks can neither obliterate Dhul-bahantes and others in the north nor will they ever win their minds and hearts to become stakeholders of the secessionist cult therefore best option would be - live let live mantra. The sooner, this is realized on the part of the aggressor the better we all be.

The SL project looks like working here and the question should be why did these men forsake their clan to rejoin SL? Money alone is not the answer. There is more to this than meets the eye. Dreams remain to be dreams.

What this is a land annexation by clans and each clan is racing to lay a claim on certain towns and villages before the rest and this triggers other clans to also lay a claim on same piece of land. There's no real negotiation, no reconciliation and no compromise. Any one who knows anything about Somalia especially the south wil tell you that there's no one single region that are dominated by one clan but are shared between alot of clans. I can't understand why all the clans can not get together and come up with more viable states rather than each day seeing a small town with presidents, partliment and minsters. Puntland and Somaliland modal is a good example of grass roots, bottom up nation building whereby clans negotiated, compromised and reconciled to put their differences aside for graeter good. But this other modal will bring more disintegration and unnecessary conflict in the future. Allah Yaclam Are PL and SL @ peace?
