KKR boosts European fibre footprint with T-Mobile deal
Investment group KKR has agreed to plough cash into another European fibre initiative, this time partnering up with T-Mobile in the Netherlands, in a roundabout sort of a way.
Investment group KKR has agreed to plough cash into another European fibre initiative, this time partnering up with T-Mobile in the Netherlands, in a roundabout sort of a way.
A new report cites a few anonymous inside sources for the gossip that Deutsche Telekom his hoping to get as much as €5 billion for its Dutch subsidiary.
T-Mobile has stated it is now targeting Verizon’s crown with AT&T in the rear-view mirror, but the subscriber statistics don’t necessarily support the boasting.
The Netherlands has completed its latest spectrum auction and the spoils were evenly distributed across all three MNOs, with T-Mobile getting a bit less.
The Dutch regulator has officially launched its 5G auction with KPN, Vodafone and T-Mobile fighting for valuable assets in the 700, 1400 and 2100 MHz spectrum bands.
It might have taken 653 days for the T-Mobile and Sprint merger to be approved in the US, but it has only taken 84 for the Magenta Army to ditch its promise to the Californian regulator.
Despite many proclamations and posturing during the development years of 5G, mmWave is not living up to expectations, but securing valuable mid-band assets is becoming an increasingly complex project.
An additional 452,000 branded postpaid subscriptions and churn of 0.86% should be enough to put a smile on the face of T-Mobile investors as share price soars 9%.
It might only be a baby step when you consider the daunting task of integrating two multi-billion-dollar corporations, but T-Mobile has opened its network up to Sprint customers.
The newly merged T-Mobile company has barely seen daylight, but it has already irritated one regulator enough that the risk of a lawsuit hovers on the horizon.
653 days ago, T-Mobile US and Sprint formally submitted the paperwork to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for a $26 billion merger, and today it is officially complete.
The purpose of Verizon’s ad at this year’s Super Bowl is not entirely clear, but the stick it has taken is very obvious, especially following the California wildfires blunder.
The performance metrics of the four US MNOs confirm a significant gap between the big two and the other two.
On the first day of the TMUS/Sprinter merger antitrust trial it was revealed that a Sprint exec thinks the merged company will be able to raise prices.
Like T-Mobile US, AT&T has somehow figured out a way to deliver 5G at nationwide scale over the next six months.
Nine organizations have come together to petition the FCC to delay any permissions to approve the T-Mobile US and Sprint merger until a fraud investigation has been completed.
After months of headaches and sleepless nights, the tides of favour seem to be turning for Sprint and T-Mobile US as the FCC chief gives his blessing for the union.
The Czech Republic’s two dominant mobile operators are sharing one network and the European Commission thinks this is taking things too far.
The US DoJ’s anti-trust chief has not made up his mind on the T-Mobile/Sprint merger case, saying the deal must meet key criteria.
US operator Sprint has settled the case it brought against AT&T for unfair competition with the 5GE marketing gimmick with apparently little to show for it.
