If T-Mobile and Sprint are allowed to merge, they will launch a fixed wireless offering to 52% of U.S. zip codes, said T-Mobile President Mike Sievert yesterday. The T-Mobile fixed wireless offering would specifically target cable companies, Sievert said.

“A really interesting upside for the new T-Mobile is to attack the least competitive and most hated industry in this sector, which is home broadband cable companies,” said Sievert.

“The new T-Mobile” is the phrase that T-Mobile uses for a merged T-Mobile and Sprint.

Pointing to Comcast in particular, Sievert said the new T-Mobile would offer fixed wireless in two thirds of that company’s territory and “we’ll have more homes passed than they do in home broadband with the new T-Mobile.” T-Mobile also has video in its arsenal now too, with their acquisition of Layer 3. A bundled fixed wireless and video offer could be interesting.
