AT&T and T-Mobile USA filed with the FCC to transfer AT&T's AWS spectrum to T-Mobile. This results from AT&T's failure to acquire T-Mobile and is part of the $6 billion breakup fee AT&T must pay. Tom Sugrue, T-Mobile's senior vice president said "This additional spectrum will help meet the growing demand for wireless broadband services," from a email statement from the Wall Street Journal. T-Mobile will receive AWS spectrum from AT&T in 128 markets, a $3 billion cash breakup fee and a seven year UMTS roaming agreement.
