The telecommunications giant T-Mobile announced it's buying the budget
cell service provider Mint Mobile — best known for its ads with actor
and part-owner Ryan Reynolds. The cash-and-stock deal, which includes
two other brands, is worth $1.35 billion.

* Some readers will remember that I publicized my disappointment
* with the way Verizon issued it's "Not quite 4G" decision and
* forced my wife to buy a new phone. She chose Consumer Cellular,
* but I had already abandoned Verizon in favor of - you guessded
* it - Mint Mobile. I've been happy with their service, but
* now I'm wondering it the next big Orgy-of-Obfuscation will
* leave me without any choice but to pony up for the full-price
* offers.
