NAACP Statement on Announced Acquisition of T-Mobile USA by AT&T -- WASHINGTON, March 23, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --

Since the inception of the NAACP's Economic Reciprocity Initiative (ERI), where major industries are graded, AT&T has been among the highest ranked in the telecommunications industry for its commitment to diversity in terms of procurement, philanthropy, promotion and hiring at the local, state and national level. Other industry authorities such as Diversity Magazine,Black Enterprises, and Fortune Magazine have also given the company impressive marks. We also recognize that T-Mobile has consistently not done as well in our rating process. While past performance is no guarantee of future results, we are cautiously optimistic that AT&T's proven record and proposed commitment will truly benefit the acquired company's consumers, minority vendors and workers.
