I doubt the FCC and/or FTC would let it happen.

Not going to happen, the towers arent compatible, the sprint towers are PCS and the verison towers /phones will can't comunicate with them, like trying to get a cat to bark ya know..

I just went Nextel, and so far I love it, Verizion, I havnt dealt with much, but those commercials annoy the [censored] out of me.... Nextel so far has great customer service, dealt with them 3 times... (1. Registering the phone since i bought it from nextel.com, 2. I locked out my SIM Card on accident, didnt read owners manual, and experimented, 3. Was curious about Roadside Assistance since my parents car died... and see if i registered for it, if they could get a free tow to get car fixed.) Nextel's service quality, ease to deal with, definatly is much better than AT&T/Cingular.  Just my $.02  Heard good things about Sprint too, which I heard is purchasing Nextel. Hopefully Nextel doesnt go down the drain like AT&T did...

Verizon has been trying to get their hands on Sprint's PCS Technology for some time. I wouldn't doubt doubt it if a buyout was rumored.
With Cingular and AT&T merging to be far and away the largest cell provider, Sprint and Verizon have been left on the wayside. There's little doubt that it would be approved. As long as there's at least 2 companies to pick from in most of the nation the government isn't going to step in.
It certainly wouldn't be worse than Cable providers colluding to stay out of each other's regions leaving most of the nation with only a single cable provider to pick from.
