Perhaps instead of bickering over a merger which would bring 4G network speeds to Sprint subscribers, AT&T should get off it's collective backside and upgrade more of its network to, you know, at least 3G or something.
I am one of the first people to criticize smaller providers for trying to sue instead of deploying their own network to stay competitive, and this is no different. If anyone had an excuse not to deploy, it sure ISN'T ATT. For a company with so many resources (money, spectrum, physical assets, etc.) its downright cowardly for ATT to behave in this manor.

Just a suggestion, especially considering how much this iPhone thing is getting and how poor the coverage is that people are reporting with it...

The whining may be related to them having to divest some wireless bandwidth to ClearWire after the Bell South merger, sort of sour grapes.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20848140 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 14:17:32 EDT Re: This From AT&T http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20847462 wifi4milez :

Shut up AT&T.. The big boy is scared of a little company.. Oh well...
I personally wouldnt classify a Sprint/Clearwire combo as a little company, but I agree with your point. This "double whammy" clearly poses a threat to ATT's business model, and so they are attempting to take action. My take on this would be that instead of whining about it, ATT should use some of their own spectrum and deploy their own network if they think its that big of a threat. In all honesty they dont actually need to deploy anything as they are the LEC in a good portion of the country, so they already have access to all the customers.

Figuring their existing 850MHz and 1900MHz band holdings plus the 700MHz and AWS spectrum they have acquired, I fail to see how they can complain.
