CLYBURN ON THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE’S COMPLAINT AGAINST THE AT&T/T-MOBILE MERGER “While the Department of Justice’s complaint indicates that the parties did not convince the Antitrust Division of the merits of the proposed merger, the FCC has not concluded its review of this merger application. The information and data requests, which the FCC staff has sent to the applicants and other parties, demonstrate that the FCC is also carefully considering the competitive issues raised by the application to ensure that the public interest is served.” -- FCC--
