The USD 4 billion MVNO

Wireless could add $4B to Cox Business services - FierceCable

In an interview with Cox Communications' Phil Meeks, SVP Business, the executive has stated that the addition of wireless could eventually add USD 4 billion to their existing USD 7 billion from commercial services.

Cox recently made the decision to pull back from being its own MNO and partnered with Sprint to gain access to its nationwide network. Cox will act as an MVNO targeting enterprise markets, with a focus on small business users and potentially a niche market within home workers and those running their own business from home.

AT&T will have elegant ways of dealing with T-Mobile overlaps

AT&T says braced for divestitures on T-Mobile deal | Reuters

Following on from last week's PR push by T-Mobile to impress the FCC, AT&T's CEO, Randall Stephenson is expecting a demands list (from the FCC) for their acquisition approval.

The 2 firms are in the process of selling T-Mobile to AT&T for USD 39 billion. The remaining stumbling block is the small matter of excessive market dominance.

Stephenson is working on a 12 month time frame to completion.

As of Q3 2010 AT&T numbered approx 93 million subscribers and T-Mobile had roughly 34 million. Sprint lead the market with slightly more than AT&T, but the merger would see the former knocked clear into 2nd place.
