The ongoing debate about AT&T’s acquisition of T-Mobile USA is a fun fight to watch. The latest salvo from Sprint, the carrier with the most to lose from this deal, tries to nip AT&T’s reasoning for the acquisition in the bud. Reuters is reporting that Sprint plans on presenting the FCC with a “Technical analysis detailing the actions AT&T could take to improve its network without acquiring T-Mobile USA.”
While I have heard from many industry experts that AT&T does a shoddy job of optimizing their network they have always claimed it is a lack of spectrum. Sprint’s solution calls for AT&T to increase its network capacity by 600% by using its current spectrum efficiently. Specifically Sprints statement said: "AT&T could increase its capacity by developing its warehoused spectrum, accelerating its 4G network buildout, and implementing a more efficient network architecture."
Its kind of funny to hear Sprint telling AT&T how to run their network especially since Sprint has outsourced their own network management. I can’t wait to see what comes out next from these companies…
