Do you think this will affect TMobile loyalty plans?

Kind've like the United-USAir rumors just before the CO-United merger.  Just talk to get a more serious partner to come to the table.

Many companies looking for a buyer talk to more than one party.

I'm sure, but IMHO neither UA-US nor Sprint-Tmobile were plausible mergers.  They were effective in that they brought CO and ATT out of the woodwork though.

In what sense did ATT/CO need to be brought out of the woodwork? Do you mean put them in the lead?
