  Investors seem to be anticipating further consolidation among wireless carriers. Reports suggest Sprint Nextel (NYSE: S  ) may be considering an offer for T-Mobile US (NYSE: TMUS  ) . While a combination between the third and fourth largest U.S. wireless providers might be a good move for those involved, industry giants AT&T (NYSE: T  ) and Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ  ) may end up being the bigger winners.�
