    #4 does not surprise me at all. In fact, I am pretty amazed they didn't close down years ago.

    And gee I wonder why BP is on that list?

      Blockbuster has been on the list before, they're hanging in there I guess.

      I hope T-Mobile doesn't fold, I don't want to change phone providers. I've got a real good rate with them.

          BP is kind of deceptive. I highly doubt they are going to actually shut down in full, but they may very well declare backruptcy in the US and get out of America to avoid this mess and all the liabilities.

            No way BP gets out of America, we have Oil in our Veins. As bad as this Disaster is, leaving America would destroy BP.

            Radioshack is a Enigma though, there is no reason to justify its existence yet there it is.

                  Radioshack makes a lot of money from Wireless business. I doubt they are going anywhere. I know somebody that used to work in their Corp offices in Fort Worth. That person used to tell me lots of stuff that goes on over there.

                    Hmmm, we were considering a switch to T-Mobile since our AT&T service has been the worst crapfest I have ever encountered.

                        Surprised Blockbuster is only number 4. Can't believe they are still going.

                          I was thinking the same thing, everywhere I go I see Blockbusters closing.

                            Radioshack will close due to the fact Walmart is cutting into their customer base. I remember back in the day Radioshack was the place to go if you wanted an attenae, batteries, speaker wire or circuit boards. Then they got into the tv, vcr, PC business. Then got into the cell phone and video game business.

                            However nowadays Walmart is damn near everywhere and sell the exact same stuff as Radioshack.

                            T-mobile is no surprise to me, T-mobile sucks and they have ZERO presence in Vermont. It use to be saying that T-mobile was the cell service people with bad credit get because they take everybody just like Discover.

                            As soon as Google announced they were releasing the Droid on Verizon I knew it was over for T-mobile. Because google was T-mobile's life line when they had google phones to themselves. But once they released it on verizon.......that was all she wrote.

                              I noticed a Blockbuster "redbox" thing the other day, that is the future of Blockbuster
