Yes, T-Mobile is GSM and PCS is CDMA, but both are migrating to G4-LTE, so eventually the wireless network compatibility problems will be mute.

I am a T-Mobile customer. The complex where I shop has a T-Mobile store which is currently being renovated, which surprised me. Part of the synergy of this deal, if it is finalized, is the combining and reduction of store outlets.

PCS has about $2.2B in cash, or about $6.45 a share. PCS has about 9.3M subs. T-Mobile has been losing subs for about two years. IMO this deal is a no brainer for T-Mobile.

Besides T-Mobile is using the $3b+ ATT paid them to help finance more half the deal.
