T-Mobile Purchase Called Anti-Competitive at Senate Hearing

摘要

“Four competitors are better than three,” Chairman Herb Kohl, D-Wis., said at a Senate nAntitrust Subcommittee hearing on AT&T’s proposed purchase of T-Mobile. The number ncould soon fall to two if the deal is approved, he said. Subcommittee members from both nparties raised concerns about the deal, though Republicans seemed more receptive to AT&T nand T-Mobile’s position that the deal would improve wireless service for consumers. But the nCEOs of competitors Sprint Nextel and Cellular South raised the specter of a revived "Ma nBell."
