T-Mobile Acquisition of SunCom is now Complete

A few weeks ago, I made a post about T-Mobile getting the approval to purchase another company to bolster its wireless network. SunCom Wireless a regional carrier that primarily serves the southeastern United States and some Caribbean islands was in the process of merging with T-Mobile. Now, that deal has been completed.

The proposal for this merger was first announced during September of last year. however, the proposal was only approved by the Federal Communications Commission on the early part of this month.

The companies involved has made an announcement this week that the deal has been finalized. T-Mobile's vaunted customer service and unique wireless products are now made available to more than a million wireless consumers in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The president and chief executive officer of T-Mobile USA, Robert Dotson, gave this statement regarding the completion of the acquisition.
We look forward to offering our new customers in the Southeastern U.S. and Puerto Rico T-Mobiles industry-leading customer service, quality national network and unique personal communications products and services that help customers stay connected to those who matter most
The completion of this buyout is also advantageous for T-Mobile. The major wireless network will now have more consumers and a wider network. T-Mobile will not be able to cover about 259 million subscribers with its wider network. As a result of this deal, the carrier will now be able to offer its services to ninety eight of the top 100 national wireless markets.

Customers will probably enjoy the services of T-Mobile as the company has been renowned for the quality of serve it offers to customers. In fact, the wireless network has held the top spot in the J.D. Power and Associates Wireless Customer Care Performance Study for the seventh consecutive time. I hope that all will work well for both the wireless network and the customers.
