T-Mobile Wants the FCC to Look on the Bright Side of Merger

June 11, 2011 2 Comments

T-Mobile filed a letter with the FCC sepcifying benefits that would be a result of a merger between itself and AT&T. This comes after many major companies came together and submitted statements to the FCC in support of a merger between AT&T and T-Mobile. T-Mobile’s letter states:

As our filing with the FCC today explains, the winners of the proposed merger with AT&T will be consumers, as the extra capacity will enable us to alleviate escalating capacity constraints, increase output, support the next generation of bandwidth-intensive mobile applications, and offer them faster data speeds, extended coverage and fewer dropped calls…We are pleased that the regulatory process is moving forward, and we remain confident that the FCC will weigh all the facts and approve this deal.

I can’t say that I am convinced that this merger would benefit consumers. In fact, I can’t imagine what good will come from this. I have been a happy T-Mobile customer for a while now and having taken the time to compare prices, I can’t imagine my continued happiness as a wireless phone user if they jack up the prices.
