Democratic commissioner questions FCC review of Sprint T-Mobile merger

WASHINGTON: The senior Democrat on the Federal Communications Commission on Wednesday criticized the FCC's review of the proposed US$26.5 billion tie-up of Sprint Corp and T-Mobile US Inc, saying Republican commissioners moved toward approving the merger without adequate economic and legal analysis.

Brian Hart, a spokesman for Pai, said"the chairman’s views and comments are based on the extensive public record that the commission has compiled over the last year." Pai sent letters to some Democratic senators on Tuesday defending the review. Pai told Senator Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat, the agency followed a standard review process and was"more transparent" than usual by disclosing details of company commitments weeks before a formal order is circulated.
