At&t acquisition of T will make sprint more difficult

Lead: Foreign media today published an analysis of the article pointed out that the United States, the second largest operator At&t announced in Sunday, will spend 39 billion U.S. dollars to buy Deutsche Telekom subsidiary T USA.　　It is widely believed that the deal, once approved, will put more pressure on Sprint, the country's fourth-largest mobile operator, who is now struggling. The following is the main content of the article: as the fourth largest mobile operator in the United States, Sprint has been operating poorly in recent years, but has failed to get any return on its $ billions of trillion in building WiMAX 4G network. At the same time, due to the inability to provide users with perfect service, the company's number of users has been lost.　　Assuming that At&t's takeover of T is approved by antitrust regulators, Sprint, which has risen to be the third largest mobile operator in the United States, will be further weakened, far behind At&t/t-mobile and Verizon Wireless. One of the biggest hurdles for Sprint is finding the right 4G development strategy. The company, headquartered in Kansas, is indeed the first operator in the United States to launch a 4G network, aided by a huge investment in WiMAX networks.　　However, Verizon and At&t have been working to develop the fourth generation of mobile technology LTE to contend with the sprint, once At&t successfully acquired T-mobile,lte will undoubtedly reach more U.S. mobile users. "WiMAX is clearly not going to be the dominant technology in the future," said Charles Golvin, a market research firm, Charles Gorvan analyst. The deal will make LTE technology a more viable alternative to many home broadband users, which is itself a user of Sprint's contention. "If the LTE network is to be replicated in the future, Sprint will be more difficult and harder to secure for corporate users and ordinary users." This is because large multinational companies want to provide their employees with the technology and products that are commonly used around the world. Golvin said: "Sprint's current CDMA network does not do this, and use WiMAX is also not possible." "Verizon phones also use CDMA networks, like the sprint, but, unlike the former, Verizon has started to build LTE networks," he said. Whether Sprint turns to the LTE network and when it turns to the LTE network is still unknown.　　But it is clear that At&t's acquisition of T will surely put more pressure on the sprint that hopes to complete this shift. At&t's announcement of the takeover of T was a surprise to many, and a few days ago the industry was rumoured to be a marriage to T. At&t in Sunday"The US mobile industry is one of the most competitive markets in the world, and there will be no change after the deal has been completed," said a statement. The United States is one of the few countries in the world where the vast majority of users can choose to serve at least five operators. "But if At&t succeeds in acquiring T-mobile,at&t and Verizon's two companies, it will occupy nearly three-fourths per cent of the US market share," he said. Sprint has improved in terms of providing good customer service and product lines, as well as providing service prices that are superior to competitors. But these are not enough to counter the impact of At&t/t-mobile and Verizon. What Sprint really needs is a technology or product that has the potential to change the game's rules. (Hao Yue)
