| How AT&T and Verizon Want US Wireless Competition |
American Tower (AMT), Crown Castle (CCI) and SBAC Communications (SBAC) stocks tanked today by more than 5-10% on the news that AT&T and T-Mobile might be merging. Why? Because AT&T could remove T-Mobile’s overlapping cell phone tower sites and give more money to the shareholders. If AMT, CCI and SBAC remove these duplicated towers is this good for the existing T-Mobile customer? Now that AT&T & Verizon control 66% of the market and soon to be 75% this is how US wireless competition will look. Here is a chart below of the cell phone towers that American Tower, Crown Castle and SBAC manage and own. Do you think fewer cell phone towers is better for your wireless experience?
