T-Mobile and the CCA ask the FCC to block AT&T's acquisition of 700MHz spectrum

According to AT&T, T-Mobile and the Competitive Carrier Association are asking the FCC to block its acquisition of 700MHz spectrum without having a good reason to do so. The transaction in question will give AT&T two Lower 700MHz B Block licenses from Club 42 CM Limited Partnership. Once the deal closes, AT&T will be able to improve its LTE network in certain markets by using a 10MHz X 10MHz configuration. That will allow the nation's second largest mobile operator to carry more signals, with faster service. The carrier notes that the FCC has ruled in favor of transactions that result in the deployment of 10MHz x 10MHz, saying that they are in the public's interest.

On its blog, AT&T says that T-Mobile acts as though "low band spectrum transactions should be deemed presumptively unlawful for any company named AT&T or Verizon."

As long as AT&T and Verizon aren't hoarding it...

It's not really Verizon or att fault that tmobile didn't get any 700MHz spectrum in the auction - heck they didn't even place a bid.
