When two companies merge there is a learning curve to determine where the redundancy and overlaps are and then do something about it. Then they will have to address the better coverage and other technology issues.

In the mean time Verizon will not be sitting idly by.

We use Verizon (14 years) because they have the very best coverage nation wide. We have always had service when others (including AT&T do not). And that is why we pay the higher price. Which I believe in time Verizon will address to get more of the lower priced market.
If I were in charge, I would tell the CEO to make our network better than Verizon or get fired. And, stop paying for television ads that tell people that we are not as good as Verizon, but that we are within "one percent" of them. If we are that close, just get better. Stupid ad campaign for Sprint.
