FCC Chairman Recommends Approval of T-Mobile-Sprint Merger

WASHINGTON—Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai said he would back the $26 billion combination of cellphone carriers T-Mobile US Inc. and Sprint Corp. after the companies agreed to a package of concessions.

“Two of the FCC’s top priorities are closing the digital divide in rural America and advancing United States leadership in 5G, the next generation of wireless connectivity,” Mr. Pai said. “The commitments made today by T-Mobile and Sprint would substantially advance each of these critical objectives.”

This is insane monopoly Much !

Hey Johnny, how much did you bribe GOP and realDonaldTrump to get FCC to approve this merger? JohnLegere

So the FCC allowed T-mobile and Sprint to merge nothing suspicious about that since Sprint has admittedly let their network lag in order to show that they needed the merger.

And the moon is made of cheese !

The gummint needs to get out of picking winners and losers; not smart enough and unintended consequences win every time.
