Me? I think it's a good idea. Metro and CricKet have always tried to keep out of each other's ways to keep from having to compete with each other so there will be no overlapping problems with getting new service...meaning service will have wider coverage, more subscribers, lower operating costs, etc. Maybe even lower price plans for MetroPCS! I'm all for that...hope it happens...
