The competitiveness level among the island’s wireless carriers, which never seems to take a break, is peaking again this week as four of the five industry players turn to the media to announce new devices and services.
Exactly 30 days after announcing plans to acquire rival wireless carrier T-Mobile, AT&T Inc. filed Thursday the petition for authorization of the transaction at the Federal Communications Commission, the agency confirmed on its website.
The proposed transaction has yet to be submitted to the Federal Communications Commission for consideration, and the agency’s chief economist, Jonathan Baker, is already raising concerns about the deal’s potential increase on wireless prices.
