It will never be allowed to be vzw vs at&t. It would be an anti trust issue and would never be able to be spun that the merger would be good for competition and the consumer. The industry might be loosely regulated, but anti trust laws will prevent what you're saying from happening.
Never say never. Money talks and laws walk. The problem is that anything can be slipped into any bill brought forward to congress and it can be voted on and passed. Ex:

I'm sorry but this IS the US government we are talking about and people that I deal with on a daily basis. Trust me, you don't want to assume ANYTHING won't happen with our government.
