AT&T said it isn't in talks with Amazon.com to resell its
wireless services through the e-commerce company.
Bloomberg reported earlier Friday that Amazon is negotiating
with Verizon Communications, T-Mobile and Dish Network to get the
lowest possible wholesale prices to offer Prime members wireless
plans for $10 a month or possibly for free.
Amazon's talks with cellular carriers have been going on for six
to eight weeks and have also included AT&T at times, Bloomberg
said, but the mobile service plans may take several more months to
launch and could be scrapped.
"AT&T is not in discussions with Amazon to resell wireless
services," an AT&T spokesman said.
T-Mobile said it is "not in discussions about inclusion of our
wireless in Prime service, and Amazon has told us they have no
plans to add wireless service."
Verizon said it isn't in talks with Amazon for the resale of
Verizon's wireless network.
"We are always exploring adding even more benefits for Prime
members, but don't have plans to add wireless at this time," Amazon
spokesman Bradley Mattinger said.
