Rep. Waxman Statement on Proposed Merger of T-Mobile and MetroPCS

“Consumers benefit from strong, vibrant competition in the wireless marketplace.  Competition on a national scale can bring innovation, better service, and lower prices to consumers everywhere.  The proposed merger between T-Mobile and MetroPCS may have the potential to enhance nationwide wireless competition and benefit consumers throughout the United States.  I urge the Department of Justice and the Federal Communications Commission to review the merits of this proposed transaction rigorously but swiftly.”
