FACT SHEET
Benefits for Consumers

Consumers enjoy near limitless choices for telecommunications services — from a wide range of companies offering different technologies, products and services to entertain and communicate.

This combination will ensure the continued competition, innovation and customer service in consumer telecommunications services.

Enhanced Residential Competition

  •   Today’s consumer market is highly competitive and includes competition from other local and long distance companies, cable companies, dozens of CLECs, VoIP companies and wireless carriers. Moreover, wireless is so increasingly pervasive that many Americans have no wireline connection.
 
  •   The combined company will have greater financial, technical and marketing resources to compete.

Integration, Innovation and Service

  •   The transaction combines AT&T’s long distance, data and IP services with SBC’s local exchange and local broadband expertise.
 
  •   SBC and AT&T together will offer new technology, high-quality services and value to compete for consumers as competition from other telecommunications companies and VoIP, cable and wireless providers continues to increase.
 
  •   By combining networks and resources, the new company will be able to bring to market new consumer services more quickly than either company could on a stand-alone basis.

A Legacy of Customer Service

  •   The union creates a company with a 120-year legacy of customer service innovation, integrity and reliability.
