LEAP metro merger

It's been talked about. But not going to happen anytime soon. Both company's need to mature a little bit more and then it'll happen when the time is right. The other thing is that when it does happen I'm not sure how it'll work. I think we can say pretty accurately that Metro will either get Rebranded to Cricket, Or they'll just stay the same. Mainly because of the size. Cricket is much larger in Potential Customers than Metro and in existing service area's then Metro.
 
by the nurabers it would be good. more unlimited coverage areas. possibly more leverage to get better roaming rates where needed. as long as the networks and such can maintain crickets quality of service and don't degenerate to metro's it would all be good.

i know it's been talked about before, in fact in 2005 metro and leap were in merger talks, at the time metro was not a public company and walked from the discussions. what i'm saying is that the analysts seem to think now is a good time, with the beating that leap's stock took yesterday, metro's stock took last week, and the upcoming 700 MHz auction, now would be a good time to do it, before either company makes a large investment into 700 MHz that would potentially be competing with each other.
