WASHINGTON: The U.S. Federal Communications Commission has approved two T-Mobile deals that would expand the wireless carrier’s network, the commission said on Friday, after the company ended its diversity, equity and inclusion programs under pressure from President Donald Trump’s administration.
T-Mobile was allowed to buy almost all of regional carrier United States Cellular’s wireless operations including customers, stores and 30% of its spectrum assets in a deal valued at $4.4 billion.
