| | 'other means' by going this route ... at&t makes it unattractive for some other future suitor to even ponder a purchase of TMO. If this is the way it goes, I'd bet at&t will try to merge with TMO again, once the regulatory environment is a bit more friendly. | |

A very cynic approach, 'regulatory environment' translation politicians in at&t's pocket. This is the problem not the solution. | |

kudos:1 | How about making AT&T deliver back promises? How about including in the 'new' deal making at&t deliver on past promises. Like this one »www.teletruth.org/docs/broadband···free.pdf or the one that said that franchise reform was going to be good for consumers and lower TV prices »www.techdirt.com/articles/201012···ed.shtml
The FCC should tell at&t start deploying fiber to your customers and when you reach 50% we'll talk about the T-Mobile merger, when you reach 97% we'll approve it. | |

kudos:4 | AT&T's Jim Cicconi dumps on FCC merger report
»mobilizeeverything.com/news/att-···f-report
We expected that the AT&T-T-Mobile transaction would receive careful, considered, and fair analysis. Unfortunately, the preliminary FCC Staff Analysis offers none of that. The document is so obviously one-sided that any fair-minded person reading it is left with the clear impression that it is an advocacy piece, and not a considered analysis. In our view, the report raises questions as to whether its authors were predisposed. The report cherry-picks facts to support its views, and ignores facts that don't......
We have summarized here only a portion of the infirmities we see in the FCC's report. We would encourage all observers to read the report itself. We believe that the utter absence of balance is clear, and demonstrates that the document lacks all credibility.

| It Might Work I could see this working IF they create a neutral third company that takes over both networks and sells back access at wholesale prices to both carriers (and perhaps other carriers that are interested). Otherwise, AT&T will takeover T-Mobile's spectrum and basically relegate T-Mobile customers to a small sliver of 2G service on 1900MHz.
I trust AT&T as far as I can throw a 50 pound rock and that is not very far. Any "joint venture" that gives AT&T a leg up over T-Mobile is basically a "merger" with T-Mobile the loser.

| | Take a page from Verizon's book AT&T and T-Mobile should take a page from Verizon's book and do an unconscionable Reverse Morris Trust. Screw the taxpayers at the expense of Ma Bell. | |

An unconscionable Reverse Morris Trust deal isn't possible because T-Mobile USA (the asset being sold) is much smaller than the potential buyer AT&T Mobility. | |

| Merger should be allowed It's net good. We have a symmetrical duopoly now, maybe an asymmetrical duopoly will be better. Sprint could be a player if they would get in the game. Their network is horrendous, they haven't killed iDen yet to reclaim the beachfront spectrum, and now they have more different bands and systems than anyone else. It's an amazing blunder that they have much more spectrum than anyone else, more tower sites, and yet they still have the worst network. | |

| | | Re: Merger should be allowed I Like my Tmobile Service Sprint cant even Come close to 5-8meg on 4G all for 49.99 a month up to 5gigs of data. Sprint unlimited for now but nobody can even do anything on there network unless you get Wimax that even a joke.
once AT&T takes over The service go down hill cause they won't keep good deals they just screw american way So i hope AT&T loses All deals they just bad Company my next company wont be verizon or sprint I just came from sprint to TMobile i just wont own Cell service i hated verizon to pricey and sprint same way charging 10 for Data or 4G whatever u want to call it is a rip off when nobody even get 4G.
Tmobile has a good thing going why give it away to another company if anything leap wireless should take over so Cricket can be put on the map if CEO dont want Tmobile anymore. | |

EARTH | People who want fast service and are too cheap to pay for Verizon 4G LTE is a really, really small niche. Most people who want good service are willing to pay for it, and are willing to pay for it to work more than 5 feet off the highway. | |
