FCC Stops Shot Clock On Merger Talks

  Okay, Okay, so it’s not an actual shot clock, but the FCC has stopped it anyways.  The backstory is that the FCC normally gives 180 days to complete merger reviews, and they just stopped the T-Mobile and AT&T one at 83 days.  Stopping it isn’t a big deal, it has been done before, but the reason is very important.  In this case, they are stopping it to allow AT&T time to rework their economic model. … [read full article]

New 42 Mbps Smartphones Coming From HTC, Samsung and LG

There’s this very vague report going around about new 42 Mbps smartphones coming to T-Mobile in the second half of this year, made by HTC, LG and Samsung.  I’m just going to come right out and say it, “Well, duh!”  This should come as no surprise, it’s about as solid of a story as that great Samsung phone from yesterday (which is actually quite solid).  With a network that supports 42 Mbps, T-Mobile would … [read full article]

Verizon’s COO Bets The Merger Will Happen

This saga just won’t end, and frankly I’m kind of sick of it.  Anyways, Verizon’s COO Lowell McAdam came out saying that he believes the merger will go through, mostly because “AT&T needs the spectrum and is motivated enough to [acquire T-Mobile], and will agree with what the government will want.”  So essentially, he thinks that it will go through because AT&T just wants it and had money.  I’m still betting on the underdog. … [read full article]
