At&t scheduled to pay $39 billion for T-Mobile

TechCrunch  today leaked news of FCC filings that telecom conglomerate at&t will be acquiring t-mobile for $39 billion! Makes you tremble in your seat doesn't it? Even Warren Buffet sneezed when he heard that amount! The Question is why do it At&t? Many consumers may think its just because, to dominate but no, it is actually to remain relevant!  


Get use to these 3 simple letters "LTE" , 4G LTE is the wave of the future there is even talk of Apple testing "LTE" on the release of Iphone 5.  Appolicious reports that At&t has plans to expand their network to rural areas and to accommodate the 4G LTE in the release of the latest mobile devices, buying t-mobile will add many streams of income and increase their profitability, therefore expanding their customer base and making way for the new technologies. 



I for one am not completely "optimistic" about the merger and here is why: I live in a major metro area and at&t's coverage is the worst! Drop calls, late voicemails etc. etc. You would think with it's signature mobile device the Iphone its network would be superior but it is not! Next up is 'T-mobile" I would say they have a lot of issues as well! The 4G network they have converted over too is very immature and unstable. As far as networks are concerned both of these carriers have a lack of consistency to field. What is the point of a brand new shiny phone if you can't use it? Besides being a fashion statement- I kidd! It devalues the $500 you spent on your mobile device.


Well I am looking forward to seeing how this merger will unfold, how it will benefit the consumer and what other surprises this may bring.

Is it a slap in the face that Verizon workers are walking out on their Jobs, when so many people don't have one?

 By: Taleice J


Mobile Media Now dares to ask the question: Are Verizon workers seriously walking out on their job when so many people don't have a job right now? If you don't know Verizon has the #1 network in the United States, some remark that their plans are costly and their customer service isn't the greatest but one thing is for certain their network is superior! Verizon's network has the ability to switch from analog to digital at a moments notice! Even Apple couldn't deny them partnership with the release of the IPhone 4.

Still the question rages on, are the Verizon union workers out of their mind? I would say: "YES!" I know it sounds a little harsh but let me lay on you the unemployment statistics, US Bureau of Labor reports "117,000 more unemployed in July, and the unemployment rate was little changed at 9.1 percent".  Millions of Americans are still out of job or under employed and here we have Verizon "union" workers pushing for contract renegotiation. It all seems like a oxymoron if you ask me. As far as I have read: It doesn't appear to be a situation where these union workers are working in "poor conditions" , not receiving fair treatment, nor are they being asked to take a pay cut! I know for a fact Verizon offers great benefits: 401k, employee stock plan, discounted and free mobile & internet services and incremental raises annually.

It is this writer's opinion that Verizon Union workers need to sit down and "eat there cheese sandwich" a colloquialism for "sit down and shut up!" In this day and age having a strike is a luxury one in which America as a whole cannot afford.
