Industry Reacts to DoJ's AT&T/T-Mobile Lawsuit
Michael Chopp:
"Today' announcement shows a Department of Justice taking its pro-competitive responsibilities seriously. I share the concerns about competition and have numerous other concerns about the public interest effects of the proposed transaction, including consumer choice and innovation."
Mignon L. Clyburn:
"While the Department of Justice's complaint indicates that the parties did not convince the Antitrust Division of the merits of the proposed merger, the FCC has not concluded its review of this merger application. The information and data requests, which the FCC staff has sent to the applicants and other parties, demonstrate that the FCC is also carefully considering the competitive issues raised by the application to ensure that the public interest is served."
