AT&T confirmed that it plans to use the AWS spectrum from its T-Mobile acquisition for its 4G LTE network, according to a BGR report.
AT&T will free up T-Mobile’s 1700MHz AWS spectrum by migrating T-Mobile subscribers off the frequency. The carrier then plans to pair its 700MHz spectrum with T-Mobile’s newly-cleared AWS to cover 95% of the U.S. population with 4G LTE service. We know how important 4G is to carriers right now, so the move will potentially give AT&T a huge bump in the race against Verizon Wireless, which has already deployed LTE service in several markets.
AT&T and Deutsche Telekom yesterday announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which AT&T will acquire T-Mobile USA from Deutsche Telekom in a cash-and-stock transaction currently valued at approximately $39 billion. This would bring the combined user base to 130 million leaving AT&T as the only national GSM carrier in the US if the acquisition is approved by regulators.
