AT&T admits it can't handle the iphone.

AT&T says:
A smartphone generates 24 times the mobile data traffic of a conventional wireless phone, and the explosively popular iPad and similar tablet devices can generate traffic comparable to or even greater than a smartphone. AT&T’s mobile data volumes surged by a staggering 8,000% from 2007 to 2010, and as a result, AT&T faces network capacity constraints more severe than those of any other wireless provider.


On the T-Mobile acquisition:
This transaction will thus benefit consumers by reducing the number of dropped and blocked calls, increasing  speeds, improving in-building coverage, and dramatically expanding deployment of next-generation mobile technology.
