A number of civil rights groups have struck an agreement with T-Mobile-Sprint to expand on the companies' diversity initiatives significantly if the two close on their merger. Those include expanding wireless to low income communities and a "significant philanthropic investment." According to the groups, a memorandum of understanding (MOU) has been filed with the FCC along those lines, which include initiatives to improve diversity in the areas of Corporate Governance; Workforce Recruitment and Retention; Procurement and Entrepreneurship; Wireless Services (including 5G Wireless Services) for Low Income Consumers; and Philanthropy and Community Investment.
