AT&T Wishes to Acquire T-Mobile
AT&T has announced its intent purchase T-Mobile for $39 billion. The purchase would create the largest wireless carrier in the U.S., with an estimated 130 million subscribers. T-Mobile's current parent company, Deutsche Telekom, released a statement explaining that the deal has been approved by both companies' Board of Directors. However, the deal must first be approved by the FTC and SEC. Some critics are skeptical that the deal will ultimately be approved, pointing to the current lack of choice in the U.S. cellular market. Others claim that the U.S. has one of the most competitive markets around, stating that in 18 out of the top 20 markets, consumers can choose between 5 or more providers.
