T-Mobile and DISH are reportedly in talks to merge, adding yet more froth to the already-active telecom space. The report comes on the heels of the merger proposal of AT&T and DirecTV, which is being viewed as a likely merger. AT&T is so determined to get the proposed merger with DirecTV done that it's willing to accept the FCC's net neutrality rules. The analyst community views the AT&T and DirecTV merger positively.
