A month or so ago, I opined that the masses are more confused about the wireless industry as they have ever been.

This Barron's article supports that theory.

What exactly is the benefit to these M&A ideas? Cingular covers 200M pop, AWE 274M. What is the synergy? Aside from the top markets, I wonder how many areas need more spectrum? Does it make sense for MacDonalds to merge with Burger King?

Barron's probably never heard of Leap, Metro, Nextwave etc., which offer unique products that may make a lot more sense to merge or be acquired by someone else.
