Free Press Statement on Rumored Sprint/T-Mobile Merger

WASHINGTON -- On Friday, the Wall Street Journal broke the news that Sprint may be considering a bid for T-Mobile in early 2014. Such a deal would be subject to approval from both the Federal Communications Commission and the Department of Justice.

Free Press President and CEO Craig Aaron made the following statement:

“The public doesn't need fewer competitors and fewer choices — not when the wireless market already has so little competition. As they did in blocking the merger between AT&T and T-Mobile, the FCC and Justice Department must carefully and closely scrutinize this deal and its impacts on consumers and their wallets. The public will get nothing good out of this deal."
