BusinessWeek calls Cricket, MetroPCS the “Southwest Airline” of Mobile Calling!
In an excellent BusinessWeek article titlted, “The Southwest Airlines of Mobile Calling“, mobile providers Cricket Wireless and Metro PCS are getting some well deserved mainstream media attention. The article goes on to suggest the two companies should put their differences aside and consider a merger (which is what I’ve been saying all along). The likelyhood of this happening while the current senior management teams are in place is not good. My prediction is that in a few years when senior management changes a little bit and both companies grow we will see a merger. But, for now the two companies will remain different and continue offering similair services. Check the article out, it also suggests a possible merger with AllTel which could be interesting. Just happy to see the two companies in BusinessWeek!

I think that MetroPCS merging with Cricket would be good, As long as they both kept there name up. (So we don’t go through what people that use Cingular and AT&T are doing, Having one name on the phone and the screen saying another name) As then you would be superb coverage in most area’s. I do think it should be 3-5 years though so that both the company’s mature a little bit more (Grow into more area’s, Open more stores etc)
