On Thursday, OTI filed comments urging the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission to strengthen antitrust enforcement. OTI argued that lax enforcement in the telecommunications sector has contributed to the unaffordable cost of internet service and exacerbated the digital divide. OTI also urged the agencies to eschew behavioral conditions as a merger remedy and be more skeptical of efficiency claims given the history of companies like AT&T overstating the benefits of a merger.
