The AT&T/T-Mobile and Sprint Battles and Your Enterprise Mobility Strategy
AT&T’s acquisition of T-Mobile was always going to face stern challenges, but the antitrust lawsuit filed by the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) against the merger and joined by 7 State Attorneys General puts AT&T on a much tougher road. And it leaves a bewildering array of possible outcomes that will dramatically affect wireless procurement strategies, just as pressure mounts in most enterprises for increased mobile broadband functionality. Add in ongoing questions about Sprint’s financial and operational ability to be a meaningful player, and the puzzle becomes even trickier.
Mobile Market Turmoil, a 60-minute webinar recording from CCMI and Voice Report, brings together two leading wireless procurement and contract pros -- Kevin DiLallo, partner at Levine, Blaszak, Block & Boothby, LLP (LB3) and David Rohde, senior consultant at TechCalber Consulting, LLC (TC2) -- to deliver a no-holds-barred look at AT&T’s prospects and Sprint’s uphill battle. Join them and:
• Find out how AT&T lost control of the message when a top secret document undercut its claim that buying T-Mobile was less costly than building its own 4G network.
• Discover why many industry insiders are skeptical of Sprint’s plan to have 120 million LTE POPs in place by year end 2012.
• Understand whether AT&T’s arguments – like the merger will create thousands of jobs – are helping or hurting its cause.
• Consider the challenges to AT&T and its customers if the merger is actually approved – there are plenty! – and learn procurement strategies that anticipate both approval and rejection of the merger.
• Learn how Verizon Wireless could play its cards to take maximum benefit from AT&T’s and Sprint’s troubles.
• Get tips for enterprises who are facing a contract renewal with AT&T or T-Mobile – should you or shouldn’t you?
• Understand the prospects for unlimited data plans under various wireless industry outcomes – and how much do you really want them anyway
• And much more timely, invaluable insight on this heavyweight marketplace battle.
