AT&T Is Buying T-Mobile to Become the Biggest Carrier in the US

AT&T just announced that they ’re buy T - Mobile from Deutsche Telekom for $ 39 billion . The mess pull in AT&T the largest internet in the country , and exit us with only three major US carriers . What ’s that mean for us ?

T - Mobile , though only a 4th home carrier , has done a portion of proficient thing because of their back of the pack standing . They take prospect on phones ! Remember , they were the first carrier to introduce Android to the masses in the T - Mobile G1 . ( AT&T was the last ) . They have tawdry plans ! Their Fav 5 program was a huge marketing distributor point that spur other carriers to buck up and offer best deals . TheirUMA Wi - Fi callingwas awesome . They had really good client armed service ! No seriously , talking to T - Mobile service reps was not a loathly experience in human race like the other handsome postman . All that ’s go to be decease .

So what chance to T - Mobile now ? Well , we see two likely options and none really comfort for T - Mobile client . AT&T could tardily integrate T - Mobile customers into the fold like what Verizon did when they swallowed Alltel . Which have in mind that T - Mobile might stick around for a few more months after the acquisition close , and then be absorb into AT&T , disappearing forever . Another , more hopeful , scenario would be for AT&T to turn T - Mobile into a humiliated - cost carrier with scandal crummy design ( which they kinda were already ) but that seems less likely founder the bill - ee - ons AT&T just paid for it . T - Mobile ’s say for noweverything ’s going to look and finger the same , but that ’s largely ’cause this deal ’s expected to take a yr to clear . On the plus side , when that happens , T - Mobile customers will finally get the iPhone .

Why did AT&T make the deal ? Pretty simple , they wanted T - Mobile ’s 34 million client . But AT&T also wanted T - Mobile ’s jail cell situation and spectrum :

At closing , AT&T will immediately gain cell sites equivalent to what would have taken on average five years to build without the dealing , and twofold that in some markets . The combining will increase AT&T ’s connection denseness by or so 30 percent in some of its most populated area , while avert the want to retrace extra cubicle towers .

Which is to say , pinch yourself if you ’ve get wind this before , AT&T might really improve their shitcrap service in New York and San Francisco and other arena . That ’s about the only top side we to see this deal .

Will the deal go through ? Probably . AT&T ’s already offering some concessions to make the FCC more likely to eat up it , like promising now to cover 95.5 percent of Americans with LTE ( that ’s 294 million citizenry , or an extra 46.5 million people AT&T was n’t go to wrap up originally ) with a new focusing on blanketing rural areas — something the FCC ’s been hot on .

There ’s a band we still do n’t know , specially when it amount to the technical details — how is AT&T going to run T - Mobile ’s electronic internet ? Are phone in the future tense blend to need to incline on a smörgåsbord of dissimilar band ? What ’s the transition going to front like for current T - Mobile customers?—but there ’s a conference call schedule for 8 am tomorrow that ’ll hopefully fill in some of the blank .
