I don't know what will happen, bur I will say this. The FCC is not the Dept. of Labor, this is outside of their charter.

It's basically their way of saying AT&T shouldn't bring up the "We'll create more jobs" lie. Remember, AT&T is heading to a lawsuit against the FCC, so it makes sense for the FCC to want AT&T to hang itself on its lies.

Actually, it's absorbing an entire new network. You think AT&T's current staff + T-Mobiles current staff will be able to support that transition entirely? They might cut store jobs but T-Mobile is already doing that because they can't afford to pay the employees anymore...so yeah. Stores might get cut but there are other jobs. Maybe they'll save the T-Mobile centers and cut out the indian and phillipine outsourcing (hopefully).

You never know till the details get all laid out.

There will be very little centers saved. It would contribute to extreme overhead to save them.

The argument for creating inland jobs is a farce. ATT has the option to place these jobs in the states without a merge. ATT chooses to hold onto "Bringing back 5000 jobs" as a peace offering if the merge is granted. Pathetic display of bribery at the expense of consumer welfare and American jobs.

@ John, I agree with you. Even if they do create jobs, they will only be short term jobs, until both networks are merged together. Then they will quietly get rid of those employees, or make some false claim that they need to lay for some reason or another.

I disagree. With AT&T adding another 40+million customers you can't just cut jobs. I believe that it will create more competition in the current market however. Example would be the current Authorized retailers and T-mobile Corporate stores. Though not all those locations will remain open, I am betting that they will be offered jobs to help sustain the current number of customers that T-Mobile has. As far as call centers go, those couldn't be eliminated do to the fact that taking over that many customers someone has to help them out. Current call centers for AT&T couldn't handle that many incoming calls. Not only that but I know that AT&T wants T-Mobile network, why wouldn't they want their excellent customer service?

Actually you can. It's not to say you can cut them all (well, that is still possible, but unlikely).

OK, you don't make sense here. This will "create more competition", but "not all those locations will remain open". You're go...

This is the focal point of the creating jobs inaccuracy. Acquisitions generally implement consolidation measures. The closing of Tmobile stores will be imminent.A small percentage of jobs will be shifted from the already working Tmobile staff and placed on ATT's payroll. The rest will be trashed into the unemployment barrel once the dust settles.

AT&T can not add jobs. He passed on and forever will be remembered. 😉
