<p>The FCC is beginning to consider whether to raise the definition of broadband from 4 Mbps to 10 Mbps, or even as high as 25 Mbps, <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2014/05/30/the-fcc-may-consider-a-stricter-definition-of-broadband-in-the-netflix-age/">reports the Washington Post</a>. </p>
<p>These days, 4 Mbps may not get you very much, explains The Post. An HD-quality Netflix stream requires at least a 5 Mbps connection. And in today’s typical home, one family member may be streaming a movie while others are making a high-quality Skype call or downloading files from Dropbox, which only adds to the bandwidth requirements.</p>

<p>The notice of inquiry will be circulated internally at the commission Friday, reported the Washington Post, in preparation for a future public release. </p>
<p>In addition, it’ll ask the public whether the FCC should adopt a tiered set of definitions to account for varying speeds in different regions or during different times of day.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.cnet.com/news/softbanks-masa-son-on-why-sprint-needs-t-mobile/">Softbank Chairman Masayoshi Son</a> has been eager to buy T-Mobile and merge it with Sprint, although the FCC and Justice have had a dim view of such a merger. U.S. regulators previously rejected AT&T’s $39 billion takeover bid for T-Mobile US in 2011. </p>
<p>Now Reuters reports that <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/05/29/us-softbank-tmobile-idUSKBN0E917A20140529">Germany’s Deutsche Telekom and Softbank have been talking and may have reached some kind of agreement</a> whereby DT would keep a minority stake in a T-Mobile/Sprint deal. Other details such as price and financing remain to be worked out, according to Reuters.</p>

<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SoftBank">Softbank</a> owns a majority of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprint_Corporation">Sprint</a>, the third largest U.S. wireless carrier, while <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Telekom">Deutsche Telekom</a> owns 67 percent of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Mobile_US">T-Mobile US</a>, which has a market value of $27.6 billion.</p>

</div>
<p>One possibility is for Deutsche Telekom to retain a roughly 15 percent in T-Mobile US as part of a deal, the sources said. That would help reduce the size of the equity check that Sprint has to write for T-Mobile US, while giving Deutsche Telekom the chance to benefit from potential synergies.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.dailywireless.org/2014/05/19/new-spectrum-cap-rules-transforming-600-mhz-auction/">The FCC’s new Spectrum Cap Rules</a> are also transforming the 600 MHz auction. Perhaps, if such a deal could clear in a year, the combined companies might improve their position in the 600 MHz auction.</p>

</div>
<p>The 600 MHz auction is vital for both companies, since 600 MHz can fill gaps and penetrate homes.</p>

</div>
<p>Dish is the loose cannon. It is still looking for someone to host its 55 MHz of spectrum. </p>

</div>
<p>The decision to disallow the merger of AT&T and T-Mobile worked out well for consumers. Justice and the FCC may be reflecting on that success, although a merger of number 3 and 4 does make more competitive sense. </p>
<p>It’s business as usual, but the telecom industry is mutating in real-time. Perhaps more creative deal making should be the rule. Not mergers. Dish, Google and Facebook are now in the game, and asymmetric force multipliers are growing. The industry should embrace it, not shut them out.</p>
