The United States Senate has announced that hearings will be held by the Senate Judiciary committee into the AT&T / T-Mobile merger to determine if consumer competition would be reduced in light of the merger. It’s fine and good to see that the Senate is taking up the proposed merger however the same situation occurred in the very same committee with the Comcast-NBC merger and that was ultimately approved so I’d keep any expectations in check.

Still, if you’ve been wanting to write to your Senator or Congressperson, now would be a really good time! Hearings will begin May 11th.
