They need to expand to at least 150 markets by year end 2012 if they want to play catch up. Invest in your freaking network already and stop trying to milk and dime everything. It's hurting your business.

AT&T/T Mobile

Say the deal does indeed die. With the kill fee being 4 billion plus whatever other money they will continue to pour or already have poured down the drain how far along might they have been with a LTE build out if that money was focused on the build out and not the buy out? Include the 4 billion please.

As I said in another thread, I bet some AT&T corporate drone is still saying:

"If only we'd have gotten them more cupcakes"...

Pathetic. I guess you can meet any goal (Only 15 cities for LTE in a year?) if you set it low enough... but that seems typical for AT&T. Verizon was able to get multiple times this number of cities up and running with LTE within a year.

AT&T had to piss away 4 Billion Dollars on a half-baked merger idea, 40+ Million Dollars on lobbying and ads for the merger, and untold amounts of capital and goodwill.... don't forget the cupcakes!

Welcome to DC AT&T.... Here are your training wheels.

has anyone's 3g service suffered once lte popped out in your
city?

This seems to happen in Chicago area.

Looks like at&t decommissions something every-time they install something new...

Re: Wow....

Since there's no current LTE iPhone, who cares ?
3G speeds here on my old iPhone 3GS are still better than 3Mbps.

LAME GOAL

A pretty lame goal when it is only 10% of the competition.

AT&T will never catch up.

Since LTE and AT&Ts UMTS 3G operate on different frequencies, I'm not sure why this would happen. Proof?
