Part of the break-up deal between AT&T and T-Mobile required AT&T to hand over $1 billion in spectrum if the deal were to fail. As we all know, the two companies gave up on the merger in late December. AT&T and T-Mobile started this week by making a request with the FCC to begin the more »

Several days ago, we saw information leak for the LG Revolution successor on Verizon Wireless — the LG Spectrum.  With an official announcement expected to occur during CES 2012, it was nice to get a heads up on the device and something we could look forward to later in January. Without further ado, let’s discuss more »

AT&T and T-Mobile USA announced the end of their proposed merger on Monday. The opposition raised by the United States government, rival carriers and advocacy groups proved too much for the two companies to push through. As a result of the failed deal, AT&T has to give T-Mobile parent company Deutsche Telekom $3 billion in cash and $1 billion in Advanced Wireless Solutions spectrum. AT&T also mentioned a “mutually beneficial” roaming agreement yesterday which we now know will last seven years.

We heard, and saw a little teaser of the LG Spectrum (Revolution 2) for Verizon Wireless a few days back. And well, it looks like the handset has once again returned to the spotlight. This latest bit about the LG Spectrum has arrived with a much nicer image (showing the front and back) along with more »

The proposed merger between AT&T and T-Mobile is looking less likely to happen every week. The regulatory bodies in the United States are fearful of the destruction of competition and massive job losses if the merger is approved. One way for AT&T to potentially save the deal is by divesting a lot of T-Mobile’s assets to make the merger appear smaller. If that happens, Dish Network wants to be the company that buys those assets. Should the merger be denied, Dish Network is considering partnering with T-Mobile.

Judging from these recently spotted (and not so high-quality) images, it appears as if Verizon is going to be releasing the LG Spectrum smartphone. According to the details that come along with, the handset will debut as the LG Revolution 2 and so far — nothing solid as to when. In terms of the specs, more »

AT&T will go to great lengths to make sure the FCC approves its acquisition of T-Mobile even if it involves selling $8 billion of its assets. According to The Wall Street Journal, AT&T has sought out Bank of America Merrill Lynch to assist it in selling off spectrum and customers. AT&T is believed to be selling off these assets to increase its chances of acquiring T-Mobile USA in 2012.

Yesterday, the Federal Communications Commission sent a letter to AT&T to inform the company that two of its proposed acquisitions will be examined jointly and not separate. Those two acquisitions are for T-Mobile USA and Qualcomm’s Lower 700 MHz D spectrum licenses. Qualcomm announced it was selling these licenses to AT&T in December 2010, but it hasn’t been approved by the FCC yet.

AT&T has confirmed this week’s rumor about the company moving away from unlimited data and into world of data throttling. Starting on October 1, AT&T will slow data speeds for the top 5% of data users. Chances are most of you reading this won’t notice any difference in speed. It’s still something to know just in case you use a bunch of data every month.
