AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) is ending their bid for T-Mobile USA. AT&T had announced in March 2011 that they have offered $39 billion to acquire T-Mobile USA from Deutsche Telekom. However AT&T had a hard time getting through all of the legal hoops associated with the acquisition. This is what AT&T had to say about the government regulation:

This past May Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) announced a partnership at the I/O conference that they have made a deal so that any new Android phone would receive OS updates for at least 18 months following the launch. The partnership is called the Google Update Alliance. Motorola, Samsung, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, and Sony Ericsson are a part of the Update Alliance. Sony Ericsson is the only company that has kept up with the partnership. In fact Sony Ericsson released new versions of Android to all phones that are less than 18 months.

Next week T-Mobile and Nokia is hosting an event this Wednesday and now we have an idea about what will be announced. A photo of the white-painted Nokia Lumia 710 running on T-Mobile has been leaked. The Lumia 710 is a 3.7-incher powered by Windows Phone Mango. [PocketNow]

DISH Network Corp. (NASDAQ:DISH) will likely partner with T-Mobile USA if AT&T’s acquisition deal falls through. DISH acquired additional wireless spectrum earlier this year as part of a deal for buying the bankrupted DBSD North America Inc. and Terrestar Networks Inc. DISH could merge their spectrum assets with T-Mobile or another wireless company to intensify the rivalry against AT&T and Verizon.

After withdrawing their acquisition approval application from the FCC and having to deal with the U.S. Justice Department, AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) is weighing what to do with T-Mobile. One idea is that AT&T and T-Mobile parent company Deutsche Telekom would team up for a joint venture by putting their infrastructure together.

A couple of days ago, I wrote about how the FCC was seeking an administrative hearing of the proposed acquisition of T-Mobile by AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T). Now AT&T and Deutsche Telekom have pulled their application for approval from the FCC for the acquisition. This does not necessarily mean that AT&T is pulling out of the deal. They will be continuing to pursue the sale of Deutsche Telekom’s “wireless assets.”

T-Mobile has announced a no-contract 4G data plan through Wal-Mart exclusively. The new Monthly4G data plan is available for $60 per month and gives unlimited talk and text. You will also get 2GB of data at 4G speeds. For $3 per day, you will also get access to unlimited talk, text, and data. The first 200MB of data will also be at 4G speeds. At $1 per day, you can get unlimited text and 10 cents per minute for talk.

AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) has talked to several smaller rivals including MetroPCS Communications, Inc. (NYSE:PCS) and Leap Wireless International, Inc. (NASDAQ:LEAP) to sell spectrum and subscribers. This is in order to save AT&T’s acquisition of T-Mobile USA for $39 billion.
