FCC Promises Thorough Review of AT&T / T-Mobile Merger
In That Case...
...it is not going to happen. No way the removal of T-Mobile as a wireless carrier makes sense. DT wants out? Fine. Sell to Vodaphone. I am sure they wouldn't mind getting out of their silent partnership with Verizon Communications and showing how it should be done. FCC do not allow the number four carrier to simply...disappear. You made mistakes with ATTWS and Alltel don't repeat them merely because a foolish precedent has been set in the past.

Vodafone would never sell their 45% ownershipe of Verizon Wireless to buy a non-profitable carrier they would have to sink money into and rename. VzW is free money for Vodafone who has been trying to buy out VzW for years.

Do a little research and give us one example of a situation like this one where the FCC blocked the sale of one smaller co. to a much larger one. There are stipulations that have to be met.... But never a complete block.

cant sell to vodafone. Verizon wireless?

its all in the competion!!!!!
would be nice to see the competion onces it is approved. whats the next step from there. its like a NFL game and at&t is jerry jones and the dallas cowboys and verizon is like washington redskins which both teams will pay any amount of money to be the best. and im not worried bc i still have my same plan from alltel and im under contract so my plan will continue as long as i dont change it which vzw always trying to make me but it never works.
If it happens...
So if the merger gets the greenlight by the FCC, does this mean the merger won't be comleted for 24 months? Assuming that each process and the merger takes the FCC and T-Mobile a year each respectively? 😲 🤨
That's a good guess
...
well typical clock is about 1 year. i would say total process (if it gets approved) is around 3 years.
