Cellphone Mania!

So I'm sitting here, thinking to myself, "Self, what are you going to do when your cellphone plan runs out in a few weeks?" So I did what I did the last time this happened (2 yrs ago, yes, a two-year agreement, it made sense at the time), I asked around. I ask people in the office, my friends, family, and so forth. Everyone has something positive to say, some have negative feelings towards their subscriber, but in general, everyone knows there is something missing, and that they are unfulfilled.

So I'm searching the internet today, and come across this crazy piece of cellphone news:

"Yesterday, Verizon made an official bid for Sprint in secret. Today, it isn't a secret, so we can report on it. From the limited information available, Verizon, facing a double threat of a Nextel/Sprint merger and a New Cingular, received approval from Vodaphone (who owns a 45% share of Verizon Wireless) to attempt to merge with Sprint. The combined company would face a tough approval process, having a combined customer base of 65 million. Sources inside Verizon cite a need for a more robust network and Sprint's unified billing and customer service systems as reasons besides increased competition. This lands the ball solely in the hands of Len Lauer and Gary Forsee: Take Nextel, or Become Verizon?"

What's up with THAT? Now my joke (down below on the right) won't be so funny, and neither will my new cellphone bill. Granted, this isn't much more than a rumor, and it would take a few years to get accomplished, but still, anyone else scared?

I guess I will just go back to my old method of research... So... which cellphone subscriber do YOU have?
