T-Mobile exparte on the 13th was last ditch effort perhaps.

Now on the 15th read THIS story broke from Reuter's, and it adds fire to footnote #23 - What was really the message delivered to the FCC legal representative of Commissioner Rosenworcel? I'm sure the discussion on the phone was more interesting than described in the exparte.

Headline should be 'T-Mobile, Pants On Fire.' Whatever, this news story changes the game plan and gives the FCC all the more reason to grant the licenses to AT&T, as T-Mobile credibility must come into question based on the facts.

Quote:

"The companies' announcement of a merger agreement, currently expected to come either in late October or early November, will focus on the potential benefits of the deal for U.S. consumers, including the advancement of next-generation 5G wireless technology, which requires considerable investment, the sources added."

"The sources asked not to be identified because the deliberations are confidential. T-Mobile and Sprint declined to comment."

"UBS research analyst John Hodulik said in a research note earlier this month that the U.S. Federal Communications Commission will likely force T-Mobile and Sprint to make some divestitures of spectrum, since the combined company would have the most airwaves in its sector with more than 300 MHz, putting it ahead of Verizon's and AT&T's holdings.

T-Mobile spent $8 billion in a government auction of airwaves earlier this year. Sprint stayed out of the auction, touting its holdings of high-band spectrum, which it says can move large volumes of information at high speeds.

Having access to a lot of spectrum is particularly important for the 5G wireless offerings that AT&T and Verizon hope to launch to better compete with high-speed Internet services from cable companies."
