AT&T, T-Mobile Pledge To Bring Jobs To U.S.

(WASHINGTON) — AT&T Inc. is pledging to bring 5,000 wireless call center jobs, currently based abroad, back to the U.S. if it is allowed to proceed with its proposed $39 billion acquisition of T-Mobile USA.


The company is also promising that the merger would not result in any job losses for AT&T and T-Mobile USA wireless call center employees who are on the payroll in the U.S. when the deal closes

So which jobs are going to leave, instead? And low paying call center jobs? Really? Eventually, those jobs are going to come back because people demand better customer service.

This is a bad deal. As soon as the deal was announced, Verizon (and consequently, ATT) announced an end to (un)limited data plans. You know when the industry doesn't even let the ink dry on a deal before they screw you it's only going to get worse further down the road.

LOL 5,000 crap pay jobs when we need millions of decent paying jobs. And they are doing us a favor?

people go on and on about gas prices and domestic drilling
well we the people own the bandwidth
why are we paying these bastards
congress auctions off the spectrum
sure they provide services but it no where near justifies the charges considering they are also selling ad space on all data services
