I don't think the person who wrote this is in anyplace to give news on this because if they haven't heard Apple and T-Mobile became partners late last year that's why if you live I. Germany you can buy an IPhone and in the article Apple released they said they can't wait to bring the IPhone to T-Moble which is the child of the company Deutch Telecom. Not only that but T-Mobile bought more spectrum which puts them right under Verizon and over Sprint. If you really want to know info about this topic before switching phone companies do some more RESEARCH!</p> Well reading this article waisted about 2min of my life.

The primary beneficiary was to be T-mobile. A source close to me (who may or may not have intimate knowledge of the situation) hinted that T-Mobile actually has greater capacity and coverage and leases access to the former AT&T towers back to AT&T. Both networks are gsm and supposedly are very similar. I know here in Los Angeles MANY of my Iphone using friends constantly complain about substandard coverage on AT&T and get faster service if roaming on T-Mobile. I am a die hard Apple devotee, a former AT&T customer now a 6 year T-Mobile customer. I'm using a BB device :-( until I find out who wins the post AT&T Iphone race. .</p> Didn't the FCC require AT&T to sell off a significant number of transmitters as one of the conditions allowing the Cingular/AT&T merger?

I had pointed out the obvious backed by my industry knowledge of various plans, etc. I'm paying $230/month taxes-fees for two phones, one of which has unlimited talk and 1500 text ($130) the other an iPhone with 450 minute talk, 1500 text and data ($100). I noted for them alternatives (all with their own short-comings, admittedly), like unlocking my iPhone & moving to T-Mobile ($70 all inclusive). His reponse was he could understand an end consumer's problem with AT&T's pricing (especially in the light of AT&T charging their own GoPhone customers $60 prepaid for all inclusive unlimited voice/data/text) but in truth AT&T simply doesn't care. Their number crunchers have done the math and determined that consumers have no viable alternatives if they want the iPhone and thus will pay whatever AT&T chooses to charge and there will be no changes in the foreseeable future to make AT&T's pricing more competative. Again, this directly from an AT&T account rep supervisor. So there you have it. Right from the horses mouth.</p> I was on the phone for an hour with an AT&T account rep & finally bumped up to what turned out to be a very honest resolution manager.
