Why? I'd understand not wanting AT&T or Verizon to buy either of them, but I don't see how a T-Mobile & Sprint merger would make things much worse. Seems like that would make them a more viable 3rd alternative to the big two, which is something I'd really appreciate. I just went back to Verizon because the service I was getting from T-Mobile just wasn't good enough.
I can't think of a time where customer experience, user experience or overall quality of a company improves after a large merger like this. Less choices for the consumer typically translate to more power for the companies.

I am not festizio, but the news makes me sad because I find T-Mobile's customer service and stick-it-to-the-big-carriers attitude both delightful, and my memories of dealing with Sprint (only ever landline, so I have no idea of the mobile quality) are terrible. On the other hand, your point:

seems like a good argument for why it could at least be a mixed blessing.
