In Case You Didn't Know, AT&T Wireless Is For Sale
For those of you who don't actually read any news about the wireless, telecom or tech industries (in other words, people who wouldn't be reading this anyway), AT&T Wireless has now admitted what everyone knew already: companies have made some offers to buy them. Of course, they didn't give much more out in the way of details. They say that no deal is definitely going to get done, but they are exploring them, which is exactly what you would expect them to do. It's likely, of course, that a deal will get done at some point, but it looks like AT&T Wireless plans to take their time in making a decision. In other words, there's no more news than there was yesterday, but it certainly seems like a big story.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
