"
ajit pervez also think that some people think of large operators cut from four to three would hurt competition, this view is too simple and conservative.he explained that, in many areas, the merger will actually take competitors from home into the number 2, 3 before only verizon and att, the new t - mobile.
but fcc commissioner jeffrey starks (geoffrey) ajit starks believes, the same diversity of opinion is too simple. why?starks said: "in the short run, might let thousands of people are unemployed. in the long run, the market will be dominated by three large radio giant, will they contrive a piece of the market, pushing up their price, only for the most profitable customers."
