T-Mobile May Suffer if AT&T Deal Fails

http://j.mp/rk7MfP  (New York Times)

   "But T-Mobile may have one ace up its sleeve, said Ms. Bienenstock:
    a network that is not clogged with millions of data-guzzling
    users. And although T-Mobile has not yet begun to roll out LTE,
    the fourth-generation wireless technology that its peers are
    already using or putting in place, it has invested large sums in
    upgrading its existing network, which uses a technology called
    HSPA+ that analysts say rivals the speeds of LTE.
    ...
    Others say T-Mobile could look attractive to a cable company like
    Comcast or Time Warner that may want to enter the wireless market.
    T-Mobile has 5,400 cellular base stations, beating Verizon, which owns
    only 4,300."
