Sprint Asks FCC for Permission to Sell Itself to Softbank
AT&T Dips Its Oar In
Of course AT&T misses the point. No company controls spectrum in the US, companies buy the rights to use it eitrher directly from the government is an auction or on the secondary market. Control of it is ultimately in the hands of the people as expressed by through the FCC. It can be made worthless or taken away if necessary. Anyone who doubts this need only try to tune their FM radio to 45 MHz, the original US FM band, to receive a station.
Lets take it one more step further however, and make it known that Sprint has stated openly, like T-Mobile USA that it will continue be HEADQUARTERED in the USA and OPERATED by Americans. The foreign owners are just the pocketbook.
