DOJ May Not Bless T-Mobile/Sprint, While Outcries Swell

Michael Calabrese and OTI is quoted in Fierce Wireless talking about the push back against the T-Mobile/Sprint merger and the DOJ response against approving the merger because of anticompetitive concerns.

New America’s Open Technology Institute (OTI) said it “strongly opposes” the transaction because it will increase prices, kill jobs, devastate the prepaid and wholesale markets, and threaten the Lifeline program. Michael Calabrese, director of the Wireless Future Project at OTI, said “The commitments announced by T-Mobile, Sprint, and Chairman Pai do not add up to real 5G services for rural and small town America.”
