T-Mobile-Sprint Merger Gets Majority Support at FCC

Apparently, T-Mobile's bid to acquire Spring has received a third “yes” vote at the Federal Communications Commission.  All three Republicans on the five-member agency have voted for the deal, setting in motion procedures that would require agency action by Oct. 9, or Oct. 16 if an extension is requested by a commissioner. Neither agency Democrat has cast a vote, and both have called for delay. The third “yes” came from Commissioner Brendan Carr who in May issued a formal statement supporting the deal.
