[其他] oh no......ATT买了T-Mobile

Wowzers! AT&T and Deutsche Telekom have entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of T-Mobile USA for $39 billion in cash and stocks. The combined customer base of this upcoming behemoth will be 130 million humans, though the agreed deal will have to pass the usual regulatory and closing hurdles before becoming complete. The two companies estimate it'll take them 12 months to get through all the bureaucracy -- if they get through, the proposed network merger will create a de facto GSM monopoly within the United States -- but we don't have to wait that long to start discussing life with only three major US carriers. AT&T envisions it as a rosy garden of "straightforward synergies" thanks to a set of "complementary network technologies, spectrum positions and operations."

One of the other big benefits AT&T is claiming here is a significantly expanded LTE footprint -- 95 percent of Americans, or 294 million pops -- which works out to 46.5 million more than AT&T was claiming had it gone LTE alone. Of course, T-Mobile has never put forth a clear strategy for migrating to LTE, suggesting that AT&T plans on using the company's AWS spectrum to complement its own 700MHz licenses as it moves to 4G. You might be groaning at the thought of yet another LTE band, but it's not as bad as you might think: MetroPCS already has a live LTE network functioning on AWS, so there's precedent for it. For further details, hit up the gallery below, the Mobilize Everything site, or the official press release after the break.

In the event of the deal failing to receive regulatory approval, AT&T will be on the hook for $3 billion to T-Mobile -- a breakup fee, they call it -- along with transferring over some AWS spectrum it doesn't need for its LTE rollout, and granting T-Mo a roaming agreement at a value agreeable to both parties.

Update: TmoNews obtained a copy of Deutsche Telekom's press release regarding the deal -- it looks like the German company will be getting $25 billion in cash and $14 billion in stock, giving it an 8 percent stake in AT&T when all is said and done. Read the full document after the break.

】北京时间3月21日消息,美国运营商AT&T和德意志电信今天发布联合声明称,双方已经达成最终协议,AT&T将从德意志电信手中收购T-Mobile USA,AT&T将以现金加股票形式支付款项,总价值约390亿美元。
  声明称AT&T收购T-Mobile USA可以提供最佳网络整合资产,向两家公司的客户提供更高质量的服务。
  390亿美元中250亿美元将是现金支付,其余部分将以AT&T普通股支付。AT&T有权提高现金支付比例,最多不超过420亿美元,并相应减少股票支付比例,前提是德意志电信持有的AT&T股份不低于5%。
  AT&T表示在交易结束三年后利润将增长,该利润不考虑非现金分期偿还和整合成本影响。AT&T的总无线营收也将由2010年的585亿美元增长到800亿美元。AT&T还承诺将大力布置4G LTE网络,使之在美国的覆盖率达95%,并将服务的目标客户提高4650万人。
  在收购之后,AT&T在美国的基础设施投资7年内将增加80亿美元。
  整个交易还需要监管机构批准,预期12个月内完成。
  AT&T董事长兼CEO兰德尔·斯蒂芬森(Randall Stephenson)说:“交易将为我国的未来提供最好的基础设施。它能提高网络质量,将更先进的LTE服务带到2.94亿人中。在任何地方,移动宽带网都都可以增加经济机会,它还使高科技生态系统成为可能,比如设备制造商、云计算、内容提供商、开发者、客户等。在过去几年,美国的高科技产业以空前的速度传递创新,本次整合将加速增长。”
  德意志电信首席执行官奥伯曼(René Obermann)则说:“在评估完T-Mobile美国的战略之后,我们相信对客户、对股东、对移动宽带系统来说AT&T是最佳的合作伙伴。要向T-Mobile用户提供4G LTE网络和设备,从我们的常用网络技术来看这是一个最合适的选择,它能以最有效的方式获得频段与网络资产。当然,交易也会给德意志电信的股东带来巨大回报,允许所们在美国之外的市场扩张。”
  根据协议,德意志电信将获得AT&T大约8%的股权,同时德意志电信还将派遣一位代表进入AT&T董事会。
  在过去几年,美国的频谱争夺战白热化。AT&T因为无法提供更好的网络而输给了Verizon,并饱受批评。2008年时AT&T加大投入,不断抢购频谱,而Verizon也有了清晰的发展战略。AT&T收购T-Mobile美国也是争夺战的续集。
  T-Mobile美国约有3500万用户,一旦与AT&T完全整合,总用户量将超过Verizon。现在Verizon在美国拥有1亿用户,而AT&T有9500万。在用户数字上Sprint将更显瘦弱,它只有5000万。  
  T-Mobile是德意志电信的子公司,在西欧和美国运营着GSP网络,并在东欧、东南亚广泛布局。而T-Mobile USA前身是VoiceStream (已收购无线运营商 PowerTel, Aerial 和Omnipoint)。 VoiceStream在2001年5月被德国电信以240亿美元收购。(ARIA)
