Crasher Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Don't know how they can afford it, but T-mobile has been predicted to go out of business last year and this year, so the owners of t-mobile were probably desperate to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does this mean for tmobile? lol and is at&t gonna be like, a super brand now? o.o at&t = alexanders telegraph and telephone corporation. at&t was started by alexander graham bell, the inventor of both technologies, plus a ton more. at&t was the only service you could get until i believe the 80's when they were finally broken up. They have been and for the foreseeable future, will be a superbrand. All telephone polls (or at least 99 percent of them) are owned by at&t. Internet companies have to pay them a royalty to use their lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoracic Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 For T-Mobile customers it means a new company to send the bill to and as I recall T-Mobile is GSM they will be able to access At&t networks so they get expanded coverage. At&t will afford it via cash, stock and debt. They have about 1.6B in cash and a market cap of $165B (oustanding shares x stock price) so the majority of othe $25B in cash payment will be financed in debt via JP Morgan. The balance of the $39B payment will be At&T stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
