This may come as a relief to some as one of the biggest issues regarding the AT&T and T-Mobile merger has been addressed. IntoMobile found out, via a discussion with AT&T CEO Ralph de la Vega at CTIA 2011, that AT&T will allow T-Mobile to keep it’s current pricing structure despite the takeover. However it was not mentioned how this is going to work. This new information brings up a whole new slew of questions regarding the recent merger, will AT&T and T-Mobile remain separate in some way, or will AT&T adopt T-Mobile’s methods. AT&T changing it’s ways in pretty unlikely however it’s doubtful they will allow T-Mobile to stand alone either. Although, regardless of speculation AT&T has come a long way with the Android world and has become a bit more open minded now that the iPhone is no longer exclusive. It’s a shame it took this long but maybe this new merger will end up being a new start for AT&T provided everything goes as planned.
