    The telecommunications giant T-Mobile announced it's buying the budget
    cell service provider Mint Mobile rCo 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.

    T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert said Wednesday that the company would use
    its size and resources to "supercharge" Mint, which uses T-Mobile's
    wireless network and offers plans for as little as $15 per month.

    * 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.
