AT&T Responds to Justice Department Suit
AT&T responds to justice department lawsuit
Dont worry, im sure they'll eventually get it right !
EVERYTHING is revolved around GOOGLE these days, thats why I have the up most confidence in the Android platform to take off with even more popularity than it already has. T-MOBILE was the first carrier to have ANDROID & they are proud & confident with their innovation and the path that lays before them will b more successfull than any other OS in the future
This has been my bone of contention for sometime. AT&T claims innovation will be stifled by not acquiring Tmobile. AT&T's innovation does not require another carrier. It has the girth, money, capital and control in it's power to do anything it wants in this area. It chooses not to. Realistically, with or without Tmobile, it is in the best position to innovate. Unfortunately, it only knows one thing. To use the subscriber money to buy out competition and pocket the rest. No innovation. They also have the spectrum and other assets to have built on their network years ago without the scrutinizing and questions they've gotten. Even then, they do minimal just to perceive improve...

2. Now as far s T-Mobiles, "Blazing 4g speeds", have you ever seen on a T-Mobile phone it say 4G? Probably not, infact you have most likely seen it say H+, which is not 4G. T-Mobile’s Ã...

AT&T is claiming a loss of innovation without Tmobile.
Here's the problem with that and why it is their fault they don't innovate.
1) Adopting the iPhone was not an AT&T innovation. It was rather a chance decision based on Apple's marketing and sales pitch to AT&T and Apple's choice of carrier. Using the success of the iPhone as an argument for AT&T's benefit, is a displacement of reality. Simply put, AT&T got lucky with "Apple's" choice of carrier. However, for the sake of argument, if adopting the iPhone is considered "innovation", AT&T did this without Tmobile which is our point. A merge was not needed.
Also, taking on a selection of Android phon...

1.) You claim that AT&T picking up the iPhone was not innovative. How is this any different than T-Mobile being the first carrier to launch Android? It was a huge risk and ultimately it paid off in the revenue department but destroyed the network so it could be said that it didn't pay off at all and was acutally detrimental. Also, please remember that Apple shopped carriers before signing a contract with AT&T and others passed on the opportunity.
2.) Please show me a link to proof that AT&T has plenty of spectrum left to use. I am not a network expert, nor do I claim to be, but I have never seen any reports on how much spectrum a carrier has and the c...

1) Apple likes control and offering to multiple carriers could have caused a loss in specific direction of the base objective for their vertically integrated operation. A tighter reign on the product. This was a revolutionary product for the industry and Apple wanted no confusion. Simple and profitable.
2) is highly logical. Offer the new product on what standard was the most worldwidely used. GSM technology for wid...

But to digress, Tmobile has made the decision to move on. AT&T and Sprint are not the only choices for purchasing them. There are other possible options. Remember, It doesn't have to be a wireless carrier.

Tmobile is a cop out. They simply threw in the towel. They probably could've revitalized their positioning by more aggressive internal shake up. Sprint has been in worse trouble. But with, tenacity and capable new management, they are slowly starting to turn things around.

I agree. They can easily be picked up by, well, pretty much anyone else. For example, Google. Or even just a VC firm looking for a good investment.
Hell, I think having a new powerhouse purchase them wo...
