Subject: T-Mobile makes case to FCC for Mint buyout
By Monica Alleven
Representatives for T-Mobile and Ka’ ena Corporation met virtually
with FCC officials last week to argue why T-Mobile should be able to
acquire Mint Mobile and Ultra Mobile from Ka’ ena.
According to a June 5 filing with the FCC, T-Mobile presented a
PowerPoint spelling out why the transaction will not harm competition
or consumers. In fact, T-Mobile said it’s a much easier case than
Verizon’s acquisition of TracFone for a number of reasons.

Subject: T-Mobile’s Rural Internet Is Expanding
By Kayla Wassell
T-Mobile is having great success within smart markets and rural
areas. Sources report these markets cover approximately 40 percent of
U.S. households. Many rural areas have difficulties consistently
accessing wireless networks and T-Mobile has been considering remote
locations into the future of its vast network.
Over 40 percent of T-Mobile’s gross net adds for Home Internet fixed
wireless services come from these smaller markets. The company is
planning more stages to provide reliable connections to all its
customers, no matter where they roam.

When I was working for MCI in the late seventies, they built a
microwave junction station on the south side of Louisville.
The local residents freaked out about it. They got a temporary
restraining order claiming that the microwave would sterilize their
children.
The lawyers locked horns. Finally, they got the restraining order
lifted. But it took a good bit of time to do it.
Those people were crashing through our fence with four wheel drive
vehicles and doing everything else they could do to let MCI know how
angry they were.
That was the only MCI facility with a full security wall surrounding
it and a burglar alarm company monitoring the premises. I wonder why
(ROTFL)?
It is this kind of ignorance that make things so difficult.
