In 2012, wireless carriers look only to the future
 Every year wireless companies make investments and plan for the future. It's just part of doing business.
However, this year a number of companies made moves that will legitimately set them up for years of growth ahead. The deals that were announced, if they get approved by regulators next year, will reshape the U.S. wireless industry. I believe the biggest story of the year was not just T-Mobile USA's decision to merge with MetroPCS (NYSE:PCS), but the smaller steps it took to transform its business. Thanks to "rock star" CTO Neville Ray and his team, the carrier is fundamentally reorganizing its network, using expanded 1700 MHz AWS spectrum holdings for LTE next year and pushing HSPA+ service off of AWS spectrum and onto its refarmed 1900 MHz PCS spectrum. A company that a year ago was spectrum-poor and weak after AT&T's (NYSE:T) failed $39 billion acquisition is now in a position to be aggressive in 2013. Did I mention that T-Mobile is finally getting the iPhone and doing away with handset subsidies? T-Mobile is making waves. 
Right behind T-Mobile's moves in terms of importance is the $20.1 billion investment Japan's Softbank is making to buy 70 percent of Sprint Nextel (NYSE:S). Sprint has been in the financial doldrums for years as CEO Dan Hesse has tried valiantly to recover from the Nextel merger. Now, with Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son as his backer (and in effect, banker), Hesse can push Sprint forward as a recapitalized company eager to take on AT&T and Verizon Wireless (NYSE:VZ). Indeed, Hesse already finalized a deal to acquire partner Clearwire (NASDAQ:CLWR) for $2.2 billion. Sprint is going on the warpath next year. Verizon and AT&T also made deals this year: Verizon received nationwide AWS spectrum from a group of cable companies for $3.9 billion and AT&T scored significant chunks of AWS and 2.3 GHz WCS spectrum. However, to me, the biggest step they took was to launch shared data plans. The plans have been controversial with some customers who might have to pay more for data access, but for the carriers these plans just make sense. More consumers are using multiple wireless devices; voice is becoming a commodity; and average data usage is increasing in the long term--these conditions make shared data plans a way to generate more revenue. In a future where even your refrigerator is connected to an LTE network, shared data makes sense. Other key issues this year include policies around spectrum auctions and acquisitions, as well as the growing importance of wireless patents. Fleetwood Mac sang "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow." This year, that's all wireless executives seemed to do, which means 2013 is bound to be an exciting year. --Phil P.S. FierceWireless will not publish during the holidays.

* General ad info: Click here | Today's Top News 1. Year in review 2012: T-Mobile forges a deal with MetroPCS, plans for the future
The news: T-Mobile USA started 2012 in a weak state, vowing to regain its fighting form following AT&T's (NYSE:T) failed $39 billion acquisition. At the end of the year, T-Mobile can make a reasonable case that thanks to its planned deal to merge with flat-rate player MetroPCS (NYSE:PCS), as well as several other moves, it actually is in fighting shape, ready to take on its larger competitors. Earlier this year, T-Mobile said it would launch LTE service in 2013 on its 1700 MHz AWS spectrum holdings, which grew larger thanks to an AT&T divestment and a spectrum swap with Verizon Wireless (NYSE:VZ). At the same time, T-Mobile said it would refarm its 1900 MHz PCS spectrum for HSPA+ services, clearing the way for Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone to take advantage of its HSPA network speeds. The big bombshell though was the October announcement of the MetroPCS deal, in which T-Mobile parent Deutsche Telekom will merge T-Mobile with MetroPCS, and will own 74 percent of the combined company. The T-Mobile deal will allow MetroPCS to expand its brand nationwide using T-Mobile's network, and will give T-Mobile even more AWS spectrum, allowing it to deploy an LTE network with 20 MHz-wide channels. Finally, toward the end of the year, T-Mobile revealed that next year it will start carrying Apple products. In another transformation, T-Mobile said it will eliminate all device subsidies from its rate plans in 2013, making it the first major U.S. wireless carrier to do so. Why it was significant: T-Mobile's agreement to merge with MetroPCS was unexpected, especially because Sprint had reportedly been courting MetroPCS earlier in the year and T-Mobile did not seem like it was in deal-making mode. While the deal does not vastly increase T-Mobile's scale, it gives it more spectrum and the flexibility to more credibly compete with Verizon and AT&T in 2013. Like AT&T's deal for T-Mobile, the MetroPCS deal was primarily about spectrum. MetroPCS' spectrum assets are complementary to T-Mobile's: T-Mobile gets more AWS spectrum to build a robust LTE network, meaning that by the end of 2013 there will be four LTE networks in the United States covering at least 200 million POPs. Moreover, T-Mobile CTO Neville Ray has said that the carrier's LTE network, based on Release 10, will be fast enough to put pressure on its larger competitors. At its heart, the T-Mobile-MetroPCS deal is about industry consolidation. While the transaction won't fundamentally alter the U.S. market--Verizon and AT&T remain far stronger competitors than Sprint and T-Mobile--it does give T-Mobile significant advantages that it would not have had otherwise. The merger makes T-Mobile a credible No.4 player. T-Mobile's merger with MetroPCS, coupled with its plan next year to sell Apple's iPhone and get rid of smartphone subsidies, means the carrier is poised to be not just a challenger, but one that is offering a different kind of wireless experience. |
2. Year in review 2012: Sprint gets a $20.1B lifeline from Softbank
The news: Less than two weeks after T-Mobile USA announced plans to merge with MetroPCS (NYSE:PCS), Japanese operator Softbank said it would purchase 70 percent of Sprint Nextel (NYSE:S) in a deal valued at $20.1 billion. The mammoth and complex transaction promises to revitalize Sprint into a company ready to take the fight to Verizon Wireless (NYSE:VZ) and AT&T Mobility (NYSE:T). Under the terms of the deal, which the carriers expect to close by mid-2013, Softbank will pay $12.1 billion directly to Sprint shareholders and will pay another $8 billion for new equity in Sprint. Sprint said the deal will help improve its scale and create new opportunities to collaborate on consumer services and applications. Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son, an iconoclast tycoon, came to the United States to woo Sprint investors shortly after the deal was announced--he said the deal would allow Sprint to be aggressive, improve its data speeds and obtain the "war funds" to go to battle with Verizon and AT&T. Indeed, just a few weeks after Softbank's announcement, Sprint announced plans to purchase Clearwire (NASDAQ:CLWR) in a $2.2 billion deal. Like many deals in 2012, this one was about spectrum. Clearwire commands around 160 MHz of spectrum in the top 100 markets, and Sprint said its Network Vision network architecture would allow it to efficiently deploy TD-LTE, which Clearwire had planned to do on its own. Why it was significant: The Softbank deal remade Sprint overnight into a carrier that was on much better financial footing than it was before. As a reflection of that change, Sprint said that after the deal closes it will officially drop "Nextel" from its corporate name. The deal bolsters Sprint's balance sheet and gives it the financial firepower to go after Clearwire, which may have been Softbank's plan all along. The spectrum from Clearwire and the added funds from Softbank mean that Sprint will be able to comfortably continue to offer unlimited data service for the foreseeable future, a key point of differentiation with Verizon and AT&T. The value of the addition of Clearwire's spectrum to Sprint's portfolio cannot be understated: It may make Sprint the largest holder of spectrum in the United States. Of course, it's unclear exactly what moves Sprint will make if it does manage to close both Softbank's acquisition and its purchase of Clearwire. Further, there remain a wide range of issues that Sprint will have to deal with in 2013 and beyond, including obtaining devices for its various spectrum bands and potentially bidding in the FCC's H Block spectrum auction next year. Nonetheless, Sprint is clearly in a better position heading into 2013 than it was heading into 2012, and Hesse and Son could well further shake up the market as 2013 progresses. |
3. Year in review 2012: Verizon, AT&T and C Spire Wireless launch shared data plans
The news: After months of hinting, Verizon Wireless (NYSE:VZ) shook up pricing in the U.S. wireless market when it unveiled its new Share Everything shared data plans in mid-June. New smartphone customers are required to purchase one of the plans and grandfathered "unlimited" data plan customers have to do so as well if they want to obtain a new smartphone at a subsidized price. The plans offer unlimited voice and messaging, and customers pay a per-device connection fee per month ($40 for smartphones and $10 for tablets, for example), and then pay for data on a usage-based scale ($50 per month for 1 GB of shared data up to $100 for 10 GB of shared data). The data bucket can be shared with up to 10 devices. In August AT&T Mobility (NYSE:T) offered its own shared plans, called Mobile Share. The plans are similar in many respects to Verizon's plans, though new customers are not required to sign up for them. Then, in early December, regional wireless carrier C Spire Wireless launched shared data plans as well, dubbed simply "Shared Data." The plans are similar in pricing to those of the two Tier 1 carriers, but regional operator C Spire said that it will allow customers to top up their data buckets mid-month with a range of "passes" so they do not incur overage charges for exceeding their limit. Why it was significant: Verizon had signaled as far back as December 2011 that it would launch shared data plans in 2012, and when it did the change was significant, if not entirely smooth. Yet for Verizon, the plans have been a hit: Verizon said that by the end of September more than 13 percent of its customer base was on the new plans. For its part, AT&T said it has signed up 5 million customers to the plans. Meanwhile, Sprint Nextel (NYSE:S) and T-Mobile have each taken turns knocking the shared plans as confusing and too expensive. Both Sprint and T-Mobile have been busy touting their unlimited data plans, with Sprint going so far as to make an entire TV commercial to mock the concept. Yet for Verizon, AT&T and C Spire, the shared plans are about playing for the future. Smartphone penetration has eclipsed 50 percent of the market in the United States, according to Nielsen, and tablet sales are expected to continue to be strong, according to various analyst estimates. Thus, it makes sense for both carriers and consumers to consolidate those connection costs under one bill. Verizon and AT&T envision a future where lots of gadgets in people's homes are connected to LTE--and they all dip into the same bucket. As voice and messaging become commodities, the carriers though are looking at their bottom lines and seeing opportunities to get more revenue from all of those devices that customers are putting onto their networks. |
4. Year in review 2012: Spectrum battles force change in industry and FCC
The news: Increasing the amount of spectrum for mobile broadband has been at the forefront of the FCC's agenda for years now. Wireless carriers are constantly clamoring for more spectrum. And in 2012 decisions about spectrum policy helped drive deals and alter the mobile landscape in the United States. Spectrum appeared to drive many of the biggest deals of the year: In between all of the wheeling and dealing, the FCC made important strides on spectrum policy. The commission started to set rules for the voluntary incentive auctions of broadcast TV spectrum; it voted to begin a review of its rules for how much spectrum a carrier should be able to hold; it turned Dish's 40 MHz of satellite spectrum into terrestrial radio waves; and it gave T-Mobile permission to test the concept of sharing spectrum between federal and commercial users in the 1755-1780 MHz band. All of the action gave FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski the confidence to say the agency is on track to exceed its goal of freeing up 300 MHz of spectrum for wireless use by 2015. Why it was significant: The cliché intoned at wireless trade shows is that spectrum is the "lifeblood of the industry." It's a truism but it's true--without wireless spectrum carriers can't deliver the services that they do. Some have argued that the "spectrum crunch" and all of the attendant hand-wringing about it is overblown. The FCC and the CTIA do not see it that way, and they have been doing everything they can to get more spectrum to the market. Whatever one thinks of the spectrum crunch, wireless carriers showed this year that they are willing to go to great lengths--financial and regulatory--to get access to more radio waves. All of the major deals announced this year have spectrum considerations at their heart. It shows that the carriers want to get as much spectrum in their hands as they can now, rather than waiting for the government to unleash more. Spectrum drove deals in 2012 perhaps more than ever before. |
5. Year in review 2012: Apple, Samsung battle over patents as other disputes flare
The news: The titanic mobile patent infringement contest of the year was between Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Samsung Electronics, the world's two largest smartphone makers. In April 2011 Apple first sued Samsung for "slavishly" copying its iPhone and iPad in Samsung's Galaxy line of Android devices. The trial, in U.S. District Court in San Jose, Calif., kicked off at the end of July 2012 and was as notable for the secrets it revealed as the legal arguments about patents. Among the revelations: Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs was "very receptive" to the idea of a 7-inch iPad by early 2011 (Apple unveiled its iPad mini in October 2012); and Apple disclosed that it offered to license its patents to Samsung--if Samsung would pay $30 per smartphone and $40 per tablet. In the end, the jury in the trial delivered a sweeping victory to Apple, awarding it $1.05 billion in damages. However, Apple's win was not total: U.S. District Judge Lucky Koh said in December that Apple could not get a U.S. sales ban on 26 Samsung products. Meanwhile, Apple and HTC agreed to settle all outstanding patent litigation between themselves around the world, and the two firms entered into a 10-year licensing agreement. This came after some of HTC's smartphones had been held up at U.S. customs because of patent issues. Separately, U.S. Circuit Judge Richard Posner threw out a patent trial between Apple and Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) Motorola Mobility, and ruled that the companies could not win injunctions barring sales of infringing products. Other companies besides Apple got into the act. Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) sued Samsung. Nokia sought to ban the sale of Research In Motion's (NASDAQ:RIMM) BlackBerry devices. And Motorola and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) continue to battle over patent licensing terms. Why it was significant: The Apple-Samsung case dominated the headlines for much of the year, and was seen as a proxy battle between Apple and Google, since Samsung is the largest OEM making phones running Google's Android software. Patent litigation has often been seen as a way to kneecap competitors in the courtroom instead of the market, but this year in took on added weight. A $1 billion damages verdict, however flawed some might think it, is no small amount, even for a company as large and financially healthy as Samsung. However, it was Judge Poser's ruling in the Apple-Motorola case that got to the heart of the industry's obsession over patents. In a scathing opinion, Posner railed against companies resorting to permanent injunctions--in effect, sales bans--to go after competitors' products, especially when the patents at issue are standards-essential patents. "Neither party is entitled to an injunction," Posner wrote. "Neither has shown that damages would not be an adequate remedy." Nonetheless, patent lawsuits appear to be gaining steam in wireless. While the head of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office thinks patent lawsuits are a sign of innovation enabled by the patent system, some observers think they signal that the U.S. patent system is utterly broken, and needs to be reformed. Until that happens, 2012 proved that mobile companies better lawyer-up. |

SPOTLIGHT ON... RIM to introduce tiered BlackBerry service pricing plan with BB10 launch Research In Motion (NASDAQ:RIMM) announced that it will take a tiered approach to charging for its BlackBerry services--such as mobile device management, security and other services that use its proprietary messaging network--when it launches its BlackBerry 10 platform early next year. The news spooked investors, who sent the company's shares down around 15 percent on worries that the action will reduce RIM's "service" revenues, which account for roughly a third of the company's total revenues. RIM separately announced that it reached a patent-licensing deal with Nokia (NYSE:NOK) in which RIM will make a one-time payment and ongoing royalty payments to Nokia, though the companies didn't disclose the financial terms of the agreement. The transaction again underscores the increasing importance of patents in the smartphone industry.
