AT&T announced Wednesday its ongoing expansion of its 4G LTE network on the island, rolling it out to parts of Aguada, Aguadilla, Añasco, Mayaguez, Rincon, Moca and Hormigueros. The added areas comes a month after AT&T introduced 4G LTE in parts of the San Juan metropolitan area on Nov. 20.
AT&T’s decision to walk away from its intention of buying rival T-Mobile puts an end to concerns expressed locally that consummating the $39 billion transaction would create a monopoly on the island.
As AT&T’s proposed acquisition of rival T-Mobile USA virtually unraveled Monday after a federal judge granted a request to delay the U.S. Department of Justice’s antitrust case, an unlikely third party announced its interest in partnering with the latter carrier if the deal ultimately falls through, Bloomberg reported.
