AT&T Must Divest More Markets to Acquire Centennial
Why Verizon?
Since VZW is too big for AT&T to topple, and AT&T is too big for VZW to topple, the two bloated cows effectively collude between themselves in these transactions -- they basically divide & conquer. And that is one of the many reasons why VZW & AT&T are easily the two most disgusting influences on competition in the domestic wireless industry.

That is why I stated that they "effectively collude" in these transactions. (Note that VZW, as well, divested many properties to AT&T following the ALLTEL merger.) Recent evidence of this is substantial. Thus, it is government sanctioned collusion as a consequence of deficient oversight under the...

I work for Centennial, and I can tell you that if the FCC does not allow this deal to go through, then Centennial will be closed in 12 months time then AT&T and Verizon will just be able to buy our 850 and 1900 specctrum from the banks and courts.
I think I drove past your offices on Rt. 34.
Now we also have the AWS spectrum, the 2500 MHz spectrum, the assorted slots of 700 Mhz spectrum, and of course the rebanded SMR spectrum, plus an additional unique 10 Mhz at 1900 for Sprint. The landscape is so fractured in terms of the technologies deployed, t...
