Deutsche Telekom May Slice Up T-Mobile USA

Deutsche Telekom, parent company of T-Mobile USA, said it would consider "carving out some assets" from T-Mobile USA in order to help gain regulatory approval for its sale to AT&T. Speaking to BusinessWeek, spokesman Philipp Kornstaedt said that Deutsche Telekom is examining different scenarios and how they would play out in real life. Last week, the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit looking to block AT&T's proposed acquisition of T-Mobile. The lawsuit presents a significant hurdle for the acquisition. Deutsche Telekom has plenty of motive to help the deal succeed. A Deutsche Telekom spokesperson said on Tuesday that if AT&T is forced to make more than $7.8 billion in concessions to get the deal approved, then it has the right to back out of the acquisition. Even if it does, T-Mobile will still be entitled to the break-up fee, which includes cash and spectrum assets.

Monopoly

In the end, At&t is going to get what they want, They always have. Even if they cannot get T-mobile via the merger they are just going to buy them up in small pieces until there is nothing left. Personally not thrilled about the merger, I would love to have the ability to use my phone when I am out of the city. But despite at&t saying that they are not going to raise prices, I don't belive it, At&t doesn't offer unlimited data, free mobile hotspot or wifi calling like t-mobile does, and the prices for t-Mobile are so much lower like $20.00 2gb High Speed data, then edge network after that vs. At&t $25.00 2gb data then $10.00 per gb overage. Unlimted text for $10.00 with t-mobile vs. $20.00 for At&t, and $39.99 500 anytime minutes then $0.20/...
