I don't get this... What does Tmobile have that AT&T wants to take over? Or make dissapear?

I used to do Tmobile tech support back in 2004...good times. I'm lying it was terrible...

AT&T have become the largest provider in the USA. They've gone from being 2nd in a race with 4ish players, to 1st in a race with 2.5 players (Sprint cannot compete, anymore). So, it's basically gone from a fairly uncompetitive market, anyways, to an effective duopoly. That's what AT&T gains.

When? Verizon has been number one for a while... now if they do by T-Mobile they will become #1. And there are many people slowly switching to Verizon from AT&T when their contracts run out on the iPhone 3GS and 4 so even if AT&T becomes #1 it won't last.

You answered your own question. My post was talking if/when the merger happens (almost certainly when).
