The record suggests that is about harvesting much more wi-fi spectrum; my colleague Allison identified in 2022 that US Mobile “has a tendency to provide provider the place one of the vital primary carriers don’t.” (It will without a doubt be great for T-Cell and Verizon consumers to have higher protection, however I would like pageant to decrease my wi-fi invoice.) T-Cell would reportedly pay over $2 billion for wi-fi spectrum licenses and take over “some operations;” the WSJ doesn’t say what Verizon needs, however says US Mobile “additionally owns greater than 4,000 mobile towers that weren’t a part of the newest sale talks.”The theory in the back of splitting up US Mobile between T-Cell and Verizon, the WSJ suggests, is to stay antitrust regulators from blocking off the deal. Regulators wound up letting T-Cell merge with Dash after guarantees that it will flip Dish into a brand new fourth primary US mobile provider, however remaining we checked, Dish had but to develop into a significant competitor.
