T-Mobile M&A chatter could dominate US telecom news in 2017
The way that Morgan Stanley sees it, T-Mobile will either be the taker or the taken this upcoming year.
The Un-carrier, which has gone through an extended bout of growth, has been the hottest item in the consolidations market these days as Verizon and AT&T gobble up media companies by the boatload. So, what can number three T-Mobile do to size up?
Analyst Simon Flannery believes that while the most “attractive outcome” will see Sprint take Big Magenta over, even with a favorable FCC under the anti-regulation intentions of the Trump presidency. Barron’s also said T-Mobile could also buy out US Cellular, though US Cellular might be doing just well on its own, thank you very much. Plus, T-Mobile would have to work on converting US Cellular’s CDMA towers as it had to for its MetroPCS merger.
Outside of intra-industry mergers and acquisitions, cable companies could make waves in the wireless sector with a T-Mobile move. Wireline TV providers might be able to patch up subscription cutters with such a move. Sprint, given its eccentric SoftBank ownership, might make a brash counteroffer in response and AT&T and Verizon might be kept on their toes with another combined wireless/wireline player in the field. Even fiber-based internet providers, the biggest independent company as of this stage being Zayo, could make it TMUS a bigger differentiator.
Plenty of options and a long four years ahead…

Apple USB-C dongles on sale through end of the year
It’s expected that USB Type-C ports will be the future of any connected accessory. Today is not the future. And Apple has been unforgiving in helping its customers make the transition over by not including adapters and USB-C accessories with its new MacBook Pro, a computer with four Thunderbolt 3.0 slots.
After much gnashing of the teeth, the company has relented and is offering discounts on dongles sold through its physical and online stores until December 31. Here are a list of them:
- USB-C to full USB: $9 ($10 off)
- Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2: $29 ($20 off)
- USB-C to Lightning, 1 meter cable: $19 ($6 off)
- USB-C to Lightning, 2 meter cable: $29 ($6 off)
- USB-C to HDMI and USB: $49 ($20 off)
- USB-C to VDA and USB: $49 ($20 off)
Third-party USB-C accessories are also on sale by up to 25 percent, except for the SanDisk SD carder — it’s now $29 from its original price of $49.
Here is Apple’s statement on why it’s offering this sale as found through The Verge:
“We recognize that many users, especially pros, rely on legacy connectors to get work done today and they face a transition. We want to help them move to the latest technology and peripherals, as well as accelerate the growth of this new ecosystem. Through the end of the year, we are reducing prices on all USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 peripherals we sell, as well as the prices on Apple’s USB-C adapters and cables.”
Infinite Loop’s transition prerogative isn’t completely consistent with industrial realities reflected in cameras that use SuperDrive-compatible cards as well as its own iPhones and iPads that use the Lightning connector, lest Apple refer to it as a “legacy connector”. The company and its customers either are effectively waiting on the slow wheels of change or maybe it just wants a few cheap bucks from adapter sales.
As for its progressive stance on USB-C, we consider this move a good one overall, no matter how token it may appear — quick stab discounts are fairly uncouth coming from Apple.

Of course the new MacBook Pro requires a special adapter or cable to pair with iPhone 7
Are you even surprised? Were you expecting anything else after the new iPhone’s headphone jack-removing mess? At least be thankful those sizzling hot 2016 Touch Bar-sporting MacBook Pros, alongside the simpler, cheaper 13-inch version, all “cowardly” retain their traditional 3.5mm audio connectors.Of course, while that means you shouldn’t throw out your “obsolete” wired headphones just yet, it also leaves you with no direct ...
