T-Mobile 近日宣布将实质性地终止其多元化、公平性和包容性(DEI)相关政策。该公司已致函美国联邦通信委员会(FCC),并等待其对两项交易的批准。此前,美国司法部(DOJ)宣布结束对该公司一项拟议交易的反垄断调查。这一举措紧随该公司承诺结束 DEI 实践之后,也标志着继特朗普总统再次当选后,越来越多的公司正在收缩 DEI 政策。司法部在声明中提到了对无线服务行业持续整合的担忧,但最终决定不采取执法行动,这意味着拟议的合并将继续等待 FCC 的批准。

📢 T-Mobile 已告知 FCC 将终止其 DEI 政策,并承诺“不仅在名义上,而且在实质上”结束相关政策。该公司正在等待 FCC 批准两项交易,其中包括与 UScellular 的合并以及收购互联网服务提供商 Metronet。

⚖️ 司法部(DOJ)结束了对 T-Mobile 与 UScellular 拟议的 44 亿美元合并交易的反垄断调查。助理司法部长 Gail Slater 表达了对无线服务行业持续整合的担忧,认为大型运营商继续聚合频谱可能会阻碍第四个全国性运营商的出现。

✅ 司法部认为,交易对竞争的潜在损害和带来的潜在利益之间,并未达到需要采取执法行动的程度。这意味着司法部不会干预拟议的合并,但该交易仍需获得 FCC 的批准。

The company said earlier this week that it would end its DEI-related policies "not just in name, but in substance."

T-Mobile is facing less regulatory heat from the Trump administration two days after the company signed a letter committing to end its DEI practices.

The Justice Department announced on Thursday that it was closing an antitrust probe into T-Mobile's proposed $4.4 billion merger with UScellular.

The news comes soon after T-Mobile told the FCC that it was ending diversity, equity, and inclusion policies — joining a long list of companies that have pulled back from DEI since President Donald Trump was reelected.

"T-Mobile is ending its DEI-related policies… not just in name, but in substance," the company wrote in a July 8 letter to Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr, which was made public a day later on Wednesday.

The company is seeking approval from the commission for two separate deals, including the UScellular merger and the acquisition of the internet service provider Metronet. The DOJ had separately launched an antitrust probe into the UScellular deal.

In a statement about the closing of the probe, Assistant Attorney General Gail Slater raised concerns about ongoing consolidation in the wireless services industry.

"It is of concern to the United States that continued spectrum aggregation by the Big 3 threatens to impede the path for a fourth national player to emerge and challenge the entrenched incumbents with new and innovative offerings," Slater said.

"In sum, the Department evaluated the likelihood of harm to competition and the potential effects of the transaction on consumers and determined that, on balance, the potential harm and offsetting benefits of the transaction do not warrant an enforcement action," the assistant attorney general said.

Thursday's announcement means the Justice Department will not intervene in the proposed merger, but the deal still must be approved by the FCC.
