AT&T wants to buy T-Mobile — and it could have huge, negative consequences, especially for net neutrality (425 hits)
The deal is likely to destroy jobs, raise the price of cellular service, and threaten net neutrality for wireless high-speed Internet. Net neutrality is the principle that prevents large corporations from marginalizing voices they disagree with or that get in the way of their profits.
