T-Mobile is almost twice the size of AT&T.
- yial 2y agoA quick Google search says t mobile has about half the customers of att. But 75% of the revenue.

- Aloha 2y agoI think Legacy AT&T made the wrong choices in divesture - they should have held on to WECo (and the labs) and the local BOC's - and spun off Long Lines - I dont know how they would have worked culturally though (or if it would have passed DOJ muster) because Long Lines was part of the core identity of AT&T.
- tivert 2y ago> T-Mobile is almost twice the size of AT&T. But if T-Mobile bought AT&T, the back-to-the-future telephone monopoly wouldn't be so obvious.
- notatoad 2y agothis says AT&T is twice as big. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mobile_network_operators_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mobile_network_operato... are you measuring by something other than subscriber count, or is wikipedia wrong?
- echoangle 2y agoYou measure by market cap. Acquisitions are paid in money, not subscribers. Edit: Also wikipedia says that the AT&T stat includes "connected devices". If that really means they count all individual connected devices, thats a useless comparison. One customer can have multiple devices.
- NewJazz 2y agoAlso those connected devices can be cars and things that nobody gives a fuck about.
- lotsofpulp 2y agoATT spends its money paying for debt used to buy DirecTV and Time Warner at obscene prices, even though anyone with half a brain cell would have known those were legacy businesses were on their way out.
