AT&T Officially Ends Plans To Acquire T-Mobile USA
An anonymous reader writes "AT&T has officially announced that it no longer plans to purchase T-Mobile USA from Deutsche Telekom. In a press release, the company said, 'The actions by the Federal Communications Commission and the Department of Justice to block this transaction do not change the realities of the U.S. wireless industry. It is one of the most fiercely competitive industries in the world, with a mounting need for more spectrum that has not diminished and must be addressed immediately. The AT&T and T-Mobile USA combination would have offered an interim solution to this spectrum shortage. In the absence of such steps, customers will be harmed and needed investment will be stifled.'"
URGENT!!! Please help a family facing cancer!!! My FIL has stage 3 colon cancer and is currently undergoing chemo. My wife, who is a stay at home Mom has entered a craft into a contest. She’s currently in second place to a professional craft blogger with a huge fan base. If she wins, she will turn the prize into cash for her father who lives on a very low budget. The hospital is 75 miles each way which is a lot of gas money. As you know, there are expenses associated with chemo. Her father will need medicine and supplies. PLEASE, vote for my wife’s craft by leaving a comment. That’s all we are requesting. You can vote/comment as often as you like. Just keep it, clean. (It’s a family website) We would appreciate that so much and it would make my in-laws Christmas a happy one to know that others care. The contest ends December 31st. Thanks in advance for your help!
