Dear editor,
As a small-business owner in Milton, I depend on reliable wireless connectivity to keep in touch with my customers and sell my services.
When I first opened my business, I had two choices for my wireless provider — Alltel or MCI — because these two companies were the two main options in my community. The names and ownerships have changed since then, but even now that means we are still paying for sometimes spotty coverage, and the investment is very little in substantive improvements to our connectivity. This shoddy service means more difficulties communicating with my customers, selling my services, and increasing my business profit.
It's 2018, and it’s time for something better.
That’s why I welcomed the news earlier this year of a T-Mobile/Sprint merger. I wasn't only excited for another potential wireless option in my area. With another major player in the game, the existing market might just get a little more innovative. For my business, that could mean reduced prices, faster speeds, expanded coverage, and better performance.
To some, the prospect of New T-Mobile may just represent a cheaper phone bill, but for me and my business, it could make all the difference in making my business successful.
