Distance Learning Association Backs AT&T's Acquisition of T-Mobile

In a filing at the Federal Communications Commission, the United States Distance Learning Association said the proposed merger of AT&T and T-Mobile will ensure an additional 46.5 million Americans and 1.2 million square miles are receiving access to wireless broadband technologies, connecting a larger population of potential distance learners to the benefits e-learning affords. The transaction will enable more Americans to realize the benefits of distance learning through wireless devices, mobile apps, and other related educational tools and promises to further the cause of the USDLA and help the organization accomplish its mission.
