AT&T and T-Mobile Set to Merge – A Good Deal for Californians

AT&T recently announced plans to acquire T-Mobile. At the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce representing 3,000 members, we are excited about the new possibilities that this proposed acquisition will mean to our businesses and to our everyday lives.

Simply put, this proposed merger will mean increased service and better technology for California communities.

This merger will help us maintain our state’s competitiveness by giving us expanded and reliable access to high-speed wireless services. Not only will these enhancements to the network infrastructure support innovation, it will help our state continue to cultivate start-up companies that need the most competitive edge to succeed.

This merger will help improve service for customers as AT&T will increase its network infrastructure which would have normally taken approximately five years – and increase network density by about 30 percent in some regions.
