FCC Asks AT&T to Clarify How T-Mobile Deal Will Add Jobs
The truth of the matter
As a T-mobile employee, as soon as the merger was brought up, we got emails and letters in the mail talking about serverance pay. We are going to experience heavy losses. Jobs WILL be created through the merger, but the NET LOSS of jobs will be far greater.

discrediting AT&T's contract and external job creation argument
Other posters in this forum have thoroughly debunked AT&T's internal job creation argument. So, I will focus on AT&T's contract and external job creation claims.
One, AT&T claims that it will contract out thousands of jobs in both consolidating the T-Mobile GSM 1900 network into the AT&T GSM 850/1900 network and clearing the T-Mobile W-CDMA 2100+1700 network, then redeploying LTE 2100+1700 in the former T-Mobile AWS 2100+1700 MHz spectrum.

i used to support the merger but not anymore!
starting Oct 16, tmobile 30$ prepaid plan gives you 100 minutes and 5gb of 4g! sweet! haha
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.

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. Thoug...
