News About Deutsche Telekom’s Planning to Sell T-Mobile
The parent company of T-mobile U.S.A, Deutsche Telekom is reported to be considering a new movement related to the future of T-mobile. The news said that Deutsche Telekom was studying the idea to sell T-mobile to Sprint while still keep 50% stake of the resulting company. This is still unsure, however, because the company still has another option of what it’s going to do to T-mobile, such as buying wireless spectrum from Clearwire to support the expanding 4G network project.
Deutsche Telekom’s Planning to Sell T-Mobile
The idea comes to the great company’s mind after looking what T-mobile’s achieved during the 2010, though it can’t be really said as an achievement. Last year, T-mobile failed to maintain its subscribers. Up to 56.000 of them fled to other great carriers like Verizon, AT&T, or even Sprint. This must be much of great disappointment, considering that other carriers were happily gaining more customers. The news said that even if the merger succeeded, Deutsche Telekom wouldn’t sell T-mo completely but rather than keep 50% of the resulting stake.
Another thing which also has been deeply studied by Deutsche Telekom at the moment is an option to buy Clearwire’s wireless spectrum. The company can give some hand to financially support T-mobile’s project of expanding its 4G HSPA+ network. Perhaps, if it succeeds, T-mobile can bring back their lost subscribers and clean its name from the failure they’d made.
Whichever is approved, we must know it. But if the merging idea is the one that takes place, AT&T and Verizon must get ready for the real challenger along with war statement it would seem to bring with.
