WASHINGTON, July 24, 2024 – Several Democratic Senators called on the Federal Communications Commission to give close scrutiny to T-Mobile’s decision to acquire UScellular.

The two major telecommunications providers announced their decision to merge some operations on May 28. T-Mobile claimed that growth from the merger would give users more consumer choice in locations dominated by AT&T and Verizon, but the proposed deal has sparked concerns over industry monopolization.
