The Mobile Network U.S. is experiencing a real earthquake economy: AT & T , incumbent U.S., announced it has reached an agreement with Deutsche Telekom such that, based on a price of $ 39 billion, the carrier USA does just the ' operator T-Mobile .
At stake there is the future of the network and phone market and mobile network in the United States and for this reason, the conclusion of the deal will not be easy: AT & T should definitely put in account to be examined by antitrust and at the same time, such a move might encourage other groups to further operations that lead the market in the hands of fewer operators willing to share the market of the future. For this reason it is expected to immediately close the transaction within 12 months, time to wait for the appropriate approvals and plan in detail how the merger between the two networks and the two groups.
AT & T is now stronger than 95.5 million users , but must deal with the pressures of Verizon (at an altitude of 94.1 million users). T-Mobile has 33.7 million users , which projects onto AT & T a user potential of nearly 130 million units. The U.S. antitrust may not willingly accept the ambitions of leading operator in the sector, but on the other end AT & T could play their cards by focusing on what the agreement would provide a signal to the U.S. a better network, says CEO Randall Stephenson, and "the opportunity to switch to LTE network by 294 million users . " If the U.S. wants to speed on mobile broadband, in fact, AT & T has an option to offer.
The transaction involves a cash payment equal to 25 million, while the remainder would be deeds. Deutsche Telekom would come out holding 8% of AT & T and its own member in the board of directors of the U.S. carrier.
According to rumors, T-Mobile was also targeted by the third player in the market, Sprint, which could now move from group to group purchaser acquired the risk of falling into the network of other groups ready to aspire to grow in this time of strong turbulence.
