Federal Communications Commission chairman Ajit Pai said in a statement today that he would vote to approve the proposed merger between T-Mobile and Sprint after T-Mobile made new promises to quickly deploy 5G across the country.
“In light of the significant commitments made by T-Mobile and Sprint as well as the facts in the record to date, I believe that this transaction is in the public interest and intend to recommend to my colleagues that the FCC approve it,” Pai said.
