2019-05-20 | Ajit Pai OKs T-Mobile/Sprint merger, “requires” 5G rollout that’ll happen anyway | Ars Technica

"After the merger, T-Mobile would still own its prepaid subsidiary Metro (formerly MetroPCS) and add Sprint's Virgin Mobile to its list of properties."

'T-Mobile and Sprint also "offered specific commitments regarding the rollout of an in-home broadband product, including to rural households," Pai said. '

'"T-Mobile and Sprint have promised that their network would cover at least two-thirds of our nation's rural population with high-speed, mid-band 5G," Pai said. '

'"The companies have made a handful of promises on 5G, rural buildout and in-home broadband that are speculative, not specific to the merger and completely unenforceable. '

'The companies made deploying 5G their key promise in the merger, even though all four major carriers were going to do that anyway. '
