AT&T withdraws its $39 billion T-Mobile bid

AT&T T-Mobile

Well, it has finally come to this. AT&T has officially dropped the $39 billion bid for T-Mobile USA after strong regulatory opposition.

It was over 9 months ago when AT&T agreed a deal with Deutsche Telekom to acquire T-Mobile USA for $39 billion, but what then seemed to many as a done deal just went to the bin. The merger met fierce regulatory opposition and the U.S. Justice Department even filed a lawsuit against it.

Now, AT&T will have to pay T-Mobile USA $4 billion as part of a break-up package the carrier agreed to in the merger contract.

This is bad news for both companies, as Deutsche Telekom will have to come up with a new plan for their subsidiary, while AT&T will have to address its issues with wireless spectrum shortage.
