No More Mergers

AT&T and Verizon control about two-thirds of the mobile market, and they’ve found that ignoring the needs of people of color on low incomes is good for their bottom line. Their dominance at the top has long pushed other carriers, like T-Mobile and Sprint, to focus on the communities being left out. But now T-Mobile and Sprint are planning to merge in order to challenge those higher end brands, which means poorer communities of color are getting thrown under the bus.
