WASHINGTON, May 14 (Reuters) – Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile said on Thursday that they agreed in principle to form a new joint venture that seeks to address long-time coverage gaps especially in rural areas by using satellite-based technologies.
The largest U.S. wireless companies said the plan seeks to end nearly all dead zones without mobile service. The plan also aims to ensure redundant connectivity during natural disasters and improved network performance.
