I'm surprised to see T-Mobile on this list. Their parent company is Deutsche Telekom and they are doing quite strongly. So strongly, in fact, that's it's been rumored that they were going to buy out more of the American wireless market.
For a while there, it looked like Sprint would be their next acquisition, now rumors are centering around Cricket and some of the other smaller players. The problem with that is that everyone they've been rumored to buy out are CDMA networks and their network is GSM. They'd have to do some serious rebuilding.
Their options are Virgin Mobile, who already uses their backbone, and AT&T. Personally, I'd see AT&T buying them out first, if they were still serious about playing the wireless game. It would give them the larger 3G network they need to compete against Verizon. It'll be interesting to see how this all pans out.
