The U.S. Federal Communications Commission’s comment period regarding the proposed Sprint/T-Mobile US merger ended on Aug. 27, and as the clock ticked down opponents of the proposed $146 billion deal outlined their objections. Altice, Dish and the Rural Wireless Association all told the FCC the move from four to three national carriers would harm American consumers.
These anti-merger comments come on the heels of a bombshell from the Communications Workers of America union, which claims the deal could kill some 28,000 jobs as the combined company realizes workforce efficiencies.
