U.S. freezes the acquisition of T-Mobile AT & T

In March this year, the second strongest player in the U.S., AT & T announced its intentions to buy T-Mobile in an operation that cost about 39,000 million dollars. Following the announcement, appliances regulators of the country began to work to investigate the possible danger of monopoly, since T-Mobile is a senior competitor now AT & T and the fourth strongest player in the country, quite likely begin also sell the iPhone in the next 5 months.

The reasons given by AT & T to acquire its rival has not convinced the trade regulators, who see it as an attempt to improve infrastructure but improve prices for customers. In short, AT & T would be of great advantage over their competitors and use predatory pricing. Thus, both AT & T and T-Mobile will have to renegotiate the purchase in the coming weeks to save the operation. AT & T has already announced it would appeal the decision.

Good for the response of the U.S. government.
