Coming Wireless-Market Report Positioned as T-Mobile Deal Weapon

摘要

Opponents of the T-Mobile sale are wielding the FCC’s new wireless competition report as a nweapon even before its release. The report is expected to conclude for the second year in a nrow that the industry has grown more concentrated. "If the Wireless Bureau declines to find nthe industry ‘effectively competitive,’ it certainly won’t help the deal’s prospects," said Sanford nBernstein analyst Craig Moffett. "It still leaves room for the chairman to reach his own nconclusions, but it doesn’t help."
