Stop Sprint and T-Mobile’s powergrab

[ LOADING FORM... ]

The FCC is reviewing a massive merger between Sprint and T-Mobile that would lead to higher cell phone prices and crappier data plans for millions of Internet users.

The merger would take us down to only three national mobile providers. With less choice for Internet users and no strong net neutrality or privacy protections in place, the new giant will be legally allowed to charge extra fees and block, throttle and spy on our private communications.

This merger is a massive powergrab that’s going to hurt everyone—especially the people who can least afford it. We have to stop it. Tell the FCC to reject the Sprint / T-Mobile merger ASAP.

Here’s What We’ll Send to the FCC in your name:

I write to urge the Commission to deny Sprint and T-Mobile’s request to merge. Over the past decade, the wireless industry has aggressively consolidated, leaving consumers with only four choices for national cell phone providers. Sprint and T-Mobile have both carved out a niche in the marketplace by providing lower cost plans, shorter contracts, and other consumer-friendly practices, compared to their rivals AT&T and Verizon. Sprint and T-Mobile compete directly with each other for the same market share, which results in higher quality plans and lower costs for their customers, many of whom are low-income and people of color. A merger between Sprint and T-Mobile would disproportionately and negatively impact these consumers, and lead to higher prices for all wireless customers.
