Public Knowledge Petition to Deny TMO-USC Application

Public Knowledge joined Open Technology Institute at New America, Benton Institute For Broadband & Society, Access Humboldt, and Institute For Local Self-Reliance in a Petition to Deny to the Federal Communications Commission opposing the Application for Transfer of Control of UScellular to T-Mobile. The transaction would result in the loss of a competitor for nearly 35 million Americans and make it more difficult for a fourth major wireless competitor to emerge in order to help drive down prices and make mobile services more competitive. Since the transaction as proposed harms the public interest, we urge the FCC to deny the Application.
