T-Mobile US (NYSE:TMUS) questioned AT&T Mobility's (NYSE: T) claim that it buys more in data roaming than it sells, and continued to push for changes to the FCC's rules that would more clearly define what constitutes a "commercially reasonable" data roaming agreement.
In a detailed response to a recent AT&T filing on the topic, Andrew Levin, T-Mobile's senior VP of government affairs, continued the war of words between the two carriers over data roaming.
Levin wrote the FCC "should be skeptical of AT&T's claim" that it is a "net payer" of data roaming fees. He noted that in the third quarter of 2014, T-Mobile sent more than 2,000 times the volume of data traffic to AT&T than it received from AT&T in terms of megabytes of usage. "And more importantly, however, assuming that AT&T's 'net payor' [sic] claim is accurate, it should wholeheartedly support adoption of the benchmarks T-Mobile has proposed, since it would stand to save the most on roaming costs," he wrote.
