AT&T unhappy with T-Mobile’s attempts at clarifying roaming rates

In a blog posted yesterday evening, John Marsh from AT&T outlines the company’s opposition to T-Mobile’s attempt at changing roaming regulation. And that’s not surprising.

At the heart of this complaint is T-Mobile’s request to the FCC just a few months back, which goes as … [read full article]

Un-carrier Q3 earnings call highlights: iPhone 6 demand, record-breaking everything and more…

Within the past couple of hours, T-Mobile finished its Un-carrier style earnings call.
