FIGHT THE MERGER
AT&T's $39 billion takeover of T-Mobile would turn back the clock to the era of the Ma Bell monopoly. The deal would give AT&T and Verizon control over 80% of the wireless market, would stifle the competitive market forces that would otherwise help to keep prices down, and would stifle new products and innovation.
AT&T's claim that the takeover will help improve network quality makes no sense. T-Mobile's network overlaps almost entirely AT&T's. And AT&T already has more spectrum than any other company. In most areas, AT&T already holds at least 40 MHz of spectrum it is not even using. AT&T is keeping that spectrum off the market, which prevents competitors from using it to provide better service at lower prices.
Turning back the clock to the Ma Bell monopoly era will allow AT&T and Verizon to dictate what type of phone you can use, how you can use it, and what you will pay. It will destroy competition, leading to higher prices and worse service.
Dozens of AT&T customers have already retained our team of lawyers to help them fight the merger and preserve competition in the wireless market. This website was designed to provide information for others who may wish to join that effort.
