FCC Greenlights T-Mobile’s $4.4 Billion US Cellular Acquisition

The Federal Communications Commission cleared T-Mobile US Inc. to acquire much of the wireless business of US Cellular Corp and some of its network infrastructure.

The approval comes after T-Mobile committed to eliminating diversity and inclusion programs to win the favor of the commission. The US Justice Department decided earlier this week not challenge the $4.4 billion deal on antitrust grounds.
