AT&T Files T-Mobile Acquisition Papers with the FCC
How exactly...
My guess is ATT's spin out of this is it will create jobs as opposed to ONLY ATT's workforce. Otherwise, there will definitely be a loss.
However, I can't begin to think of how this will create jobs ... that is counter intuitive to everything we've seen in the past mergers (suncom and t-mo, alltell and verizon)... to sum it all up ... AT&T probably means they will create more jobs after they destroy a huge number of them.

Well,the arguement can be made that VZW has already put into place a plan to get LTE to 97% of America and therefore in order to increase competition, AT&T needs to purchase TMO so they can give consumers a choice of LTE carriers...
Nope. AT&T has announced plans that, even if the merger is approved, will overlay LTE only within the extent of its current GSM/W-CDMA network -- in other words, only where AT&T already has its own licensed spectrum & established network. So, the spectrum argument is basically void. AT&T does NOT require T-Mobile's spectrum to NOT expand its own network.
I have already posted this in a previous thread. Compare the maps:

Why I think this will not work:
1) ATT will not be extending their network beyond what they already have. This means no extra stores will be needed in other market areas. Essentially, they will lie.
2) If staff is increased, it would be by 2 to 5 more associates per stores already in existence depending on area. This will be done internally with the access t-mobile employees they decide to keep on. No new jobs. Just a shift from one carrier to the next. The others will get let go.
With roughly 70,000 employees, I can speculate maybe 1200 to 1500 ...
