T-Mobile US is likely to win in the new game of national tech champions jennifersaba GinaChon
U.S. Federal Communications Commission Chair Ajit Pai is recommending a set of concessions proposed by T-Mobile US and Sprint in order to win approval for their $26 billion merger, the agency said on May 20. The full FCC panel must vote to approve or reject the deal. The U.S. Department of Justice also has to approve the deal.
The two telecoms operators committed to deploying a 5G network that would cover 97% of America’s population within three years of closing the deal and 99% of the population within six years, if their merger is allowed to proceed. In addition to their prior commitment not to raise prices for three years, T-Mobile and Sprint have agreed to divest its Boost Mobile, Sprint’s largest pre-paid brand.
If the merged company misses its six-year buildout it will be subject to a maximum $2.4 billion fine that is repeatable. President Donald Trump declared a national emergency on May 15 and barred American companies from using telecommunications equipment made by firms posing a national security risk. Chinese network maker Huawei Technologies is on the list.
