"When does merging two companies make for more marketplace competition? When they aren't big enough to compete with the other giants in the industry. At least that's the logic behind the argument that Sprint should be allowed to acquire T-Mobile.

You are probably right, the price war stops as soon as the merger happens. Right now the little carriers are leading the charge to better prices.
