FCC should approve AT&T’s buy of spectrum licenses from Plateau only if AT&T agrees to roaming deal

The FCC should approve AT&T’s buy of spectrum licenses from Plateau only if AT&T agrees to keep in place a roaming deal with T-Mobile, T-Mobile said in a petition to the FCC. “If AT&T acquires Plateau, AT&T will become the only option for GSM roaming in the former Plateau markets and T-Mobile will be required to adhere to the terms of AT&T’s expansive and inflexible roaming agreements which generally do not permit roaming over limited geographic areas,” T-Mobile said (http://bit.ly/ZF7Dzx). Plateau serves New Mexico and west Texas. The FCC posted the filing in docket 14-144 Tuesday.
