The FCC approved the acquisition by AT&T of Qualcomm wireless spectrum. This deal could be closed during the next week, by the end of the year.

This is the kind of activity that works in today’s marketplace. It does not take a key competitor off the playing field, yet it gives AT&T more breathing room with more wireless capacity.

This spectrum was for Qualcomm Flo TV which they scrapped. It covers quite a bit of the US market including key sore spots for AT&T like New York, LA and San Francisco.

This is a great win for AT&T which desperately needs the spectrum.

After struggling with the merger all year, wasn’t this easy!

Happy holidays AT&T.
