FCC Chairmen FCC Chairmen Dear FCC, We the undersigned are concerned about the recently announced acquisition of T-Mobile by AT&T. As consumers we want a choice in who provides our wireless service. We want that choice to include companies with high quality service and customer satisfaction. AT&T is rated as one of the worst wireless providers in customer satisfaction. T-mobile is rated highest. Allowing AT&T to acquire T-Mobile will 1) severely decrease the overall quality of the wireless provider industry, 2) limit consumer choice to only 3 main providers (AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint), 3) allow AT&T to move closer to monopolizing the wireless industry, and 4) decrease competition in the wireless service industry. This acquisition allow AT&T to gain considerable market control at the cost of consumers. We ask that you protect our choice and do not approve AT&T's acquisition of T-Mobile. Name From Comments 1. Leanna Nolan Spring Valley, CA 2. lanae jackson dumfries, VA 3. Larry Ayonn Fontana, CA I do not want to be forced into a monopoly. If AT&T takes over T-Mobile, there will be no competing GSM provider. For those that travel to the rest of the world, having a GSM phone is a HUGE convenience. 4. john guider forest lake, GA 5. Michael Cox Beavercreek, OH AT&T is terrible. 6. Boris Smojver Cherry hill, NJ 7. Andrea Popovits Branson, MO 8. Iona McCue stafford, TX 9. DJ AUDACITY Lancaster, CA PLEASE REPOST THIS Higher phone prices for everyone. The biggest question is whether AT&T, Verizon and Sprint will see the contraction in their space as an opportunity to raise prices on wireless service. After all, if the remaining three players all decide to boost rates at the same time, well, there's not much we can do about it. Other than stop using... our iPhones, of course, which isn't practical. AT&T appears to be ready to go on the price-hike front, already making the case that prices have fallen through a decade of mergers in the industry. That has public-interest groups worried that a rate increase is coming as soon as the deal is approved. (continues on next page) Page 1 - Signatures 1 - 9 Name From Comments 9. DJ AUDACITY Lancaster, CA (continued from previous page) email the FCC,... NOW.... and let them know what you think: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] 10. Karla Martinez Los Angeles, CA SAY NO TO ATT! 11. Marika Garfield, NJ Buchberger 12. Ashley semprini Lakeland, FL 13. Robin Garcia Tampa, FL Please stop this merger from happening. The American People need more competition not less. 14. kim burkhart hamilton, NJ 15. Raman San Jose, CA Please deny the approval of the AT&T / T-Mobile merger. Pourgevargiss This merger would create a GSM monopoly. This should not happen. 16. Lisa Galanti Las Vegas, NV 17. Jacci Whelan Lynnwood, WA 18. enrique valencia albuquerque, NM If tmobile cares about the customer then they should listen to them I am a loyal customer for 5 years and if they merge with att I will not know where to go cuz all other services are very unsatissfied tmobile don't do this to your customer please 19. Catherine Holt, MI Our family is extremely unhappy about the AT&T/T-Mobile Johnson merger. As long-time T-Mobile customers, we feel this merger would be good for neither the consumer or T-Mobile employees. 20. David Bradley knoxville, TN 21. Rebecca Babin Ponchatoula, LA 22. henry perez canovanas, PR no like A&TT the peices and the plans is too high 23. Faith Sullivan Olathe, KS we started out with at&t our first cell phone & had a horrble experience & switched to several others & finally found one that we really liked T-MOBILE!!! boooo at&t 24. Dylan Marlow Collegeville, PA I am a T-Mobile fanboy and a loyal customer for 4 years! I love T-Mo and their awesome service, great prices, and great customer service! I'd hate to see AT&T ruin everything. 25. Joseph Cota Garland, TX 26. Derick Ulac La Puente, CA 27. M Zimmerman Madison, AL No to less choice, higher prices, data caps, and terrible customer service! 28. Fernando Lopez Santa Ana, CA Lets take out ATT&T instead! Page 2 - Signatures 9 - 28 Name From Comments 29. Reymar Ulac La Puente, CA 30. Elma Ulac La Puente, CA 31. Elpidio Ulac La Puente, CA 32. Peter Blocki Sarasota, FL Please stop AT&T from purchasing T-Mobile and becoming the ONLY GSM provider in the United States. This is an outrageous Monopoly, they have forced out providers and will jack up the prices!!!! T-Mobile STAY 33. Joshua Garrett Davis, CA 34. Sanja Tamarut Rijeka, Croatia 35. Silvia Gonzalez North Hollywood, CA 36. Doreen Redmond, WA Henrichsen 37. Jason Miller Livinston, LA 38. Brenden Morris Kansas City, MO 39. Jenny nyman overland park, KS Ive been with tmobile since it was areil ,voicestream and tmobile.... I dont want to change 40. Trey Secord Seattle, WA 41. Marc Speziale Waukegan, IL There are REASONS why we have choices! Now we are going to be limited!!!! Please do not allow this! 42. Dave Minneapolis, MN Schoenecker 43. Gordon Forbes Perthshire, United Kingdom 44. Steven Savoy Nashua, NH I have been with T-Mobile since they bought out Voicestream and have never thought about switching carriers until now. 45. Justine Aldridge San Diego, CA I was with Cingular until they were gobbled up by AT&T. So I switched from AT&T to TMobile because AT&T's customer service is absolutely horrible. I just recently switched my home landline from AT&T to Time Warner phone after 10 years of horrible customer service because I never had any other choices until now. I vowed I would never spend another penny with AT&T. Now my cell phone is going to switch back AT&T? Never! I will leave the minute this merger goes through, even if I have to pay for early termination. I love TMobile's customer service - its the best I've ever experienced. 46. Jean-Luc Morano San Jose, CA I left AT&T because of the complete absence of customer service as well as the extremely poor quality of wireless connections in our area. If this deal goes through I will either get the cheapest prepaid phone from Metro/Virgin/Sprint or abandon my cell phone altogether. There is no way I will go back to AT&T. Page 3 - Signatures 29 - 46 Name From Comments 47. Jessica Dunein, FL I chose T-Mobile usa as my service provider because they Thomlinson are affordable. If AT&T take over many hard working Americans won't be able to afford a cellphone. 48. Amy Bergin Grosse Pointe Please do not allow AT&T to become a monopoly, Woods, MI especially with their track record of shady business practices. 49. Carlos Nieves Canovanas, Puerto Rico 50. Roxy Gomez miami, FM 51. Antonio Gomez miami, FL 52. Lincoln Rose Seattle, WA I left AT&T for T-Mobile and love their customer service! I don't want to be dragged back into a bad, nonconsensual relationship with AT&T! 53. Frederick Hanson Williston Pk, NY With this ATT will own a GSM monopoly and will 37% market share. This will be a serious threat to the success of the wireless industry. 54. Howard Blair Brushton, NY Please STOP the endless mergers! The merging of multi-million-dollar companies only hurts consumers by limiting choice, stifling innovation, and removes competition, which raises the prices of products. 55. Eileen Novak Omaha, NE 56. Sheri Hicks Loganville, GA 57. Rafael Gonzales houston, TX This buyout of t-mobile by at&t will be bad for us consumers. Please do not allow this to go through. 58. Jeff Helvick Flagstaff, AZ 59. Allan Yorkowitz Colonia, NJ 60. Cleveland Hayes Columbia, SC We don't need a GSM monopoly in the USA don't let this go through. 61. John Estrella henderson, NV 62. Ryan Deskins Spanaway, WA 63. Daniel Holmstock Culpeper, VA 64. Lorenzo Reyes arlington, TX 65. Tshalla Fairburn, GA This is terrible. Have been a loyal customer since 2005. Hernandez Overall very satisfied with their service over the years. Hope this deal doesn't go through! 66. Jordan Desrosier Quincy, MA 67. Madya Fugaru north las vegas, NV At&t is horrible. Tmobile is the last provider with "fair" prices! I will drop my contract! I want choices not CELL PHONE SERVICE MONOPOLY! NO NO NO AT&T!!!!!! 68. ROBERT glendale, CA This is a tragedy. SAYADIAN Page 4 - Signatures 47 - 68 Name From Comments 69. Daniel Moore Thornton, CO Tens of thousands of Tmo employees are going to be out of a job. MILLIONS of devices are now going to become toxic waste as li-ion batteries and chemical filled chassis are dumped because they will be rendered useless. This is the absolute worst possible move that could be made in the wireless world, and it will do NOTHING but harm to our already unstable economy. The FCC/DOJ does NOT need to approve the creation of a monopoly or the sending of nearly 40 billion dollars to line German pockets and pay off European debts. 70. Kyle Dickerson Livermore, CA T-Mobile is the only US carrier that allows you to get a reduced-price plan with no contract if you aren't interested in subsidizing an expensive phone purchase every 2 years.
