The merger trial for our proposed @TMobile and Sprint merger has wrapped up. We have appreciated the opportunity to present a strong case on why this deal is good for consumers. I want to thank everyone involved for their hard work!

Quotable
“It seems Congress hits an error 508 message every time it tries to address net neutrality. Common-sense proposals for a compromise on net neutrality to protect Americans are met with fear mongering, political rhetoric and demands for idealogical purity—on both sides of the aisle… We urge our colleagues in Congress, as well as all the stakeholders who have contributed to this national discussion, to step away from partisan corners or entrenched positions and join our working group’s goal of a bipartisan path forward. Imagine the benefits for all Americans if both parties come together, fix this challenge and break the endless error 508 loop.” — Sens Roger Wicker (R-MS) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) in an op-ed for USA Today
