AT&T and T-Mobile are taking their merger campaign on the road, heading to Silicon Valley next week to try to convince Internet firms that supporting their $39 billion deal would be good for the Web.
AT&T’s top government influencer, James Cicconi, plans to meet with members of Silicon Valley trade association TechNet as part of the company’s campaign. Cicconi’s line, according to a source familiar with the planned meeting: Without the merger, these firms will have to grapple with congested wireless networks, and it would be harder for consumers to get speedy access to apps and other Web service.
