In recent news the cell phone company, AT&T made a business proposal for T-mobile to buy them for $39 billion. AT&T is buying T-mobile so that they can get the cell phone towers that belong to T-mobile in order to allow their network to grow and become more stable (less dropped calls and dead zones) – but is that their only reasoning behind this business deal? T-mobile is the fourth largest cellphone company in the United States, and with it now merging into one of the other top three companies, what does that mean for the furture of cell phone plans? With less cell phone companies there is less competition between them. This means that there aren’t as many reasons for them to lower their prices and the competition is less intense and more even. T-mobile was the least expensive of the four dominating cell phone companies, and examining the difference between the companies of AT&T and T-mobile, a big difference is the cost of their plans. Costumers with T-mobile pay much less than those with AT&T for the same coverage, so knowing what will happen with these customers is still unknown. With AT&T having the in-demand phone (Iphone), more network coverage, and less competition who knows what is ahead for the future of their company and their customers.
