Approve T-Mobile/Sprint Merger

In our former role as chairmen of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, we worked alongside the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to ensure that consumer access to secure, affordable broadband service was disseminated widely across the country. But technological growth and innovation in the communications sector has not stopped since we left Congress. In fact, it seems only to have accelerated, with the race to 5G deployment becoming one of the most pivotal issues of our time. The private sector has made enormous progress in developing the technology necessary for 5G in recent years; the Department of Justice and FCC's job, now, is to ensure competition is preserved and the benefits of such technologies reach all Americans, including those in rural areas, in an equitable manner.
