AT&T Gets Chance To Fire Back At Critics In FCC Filings

Critics of AT&T's proposed merger with T-Mobile have flooded inboxes at the Federal Communications Commission, but AT&T now gets a turn to officially fire back. AT&T and its supporters have until June 10th to respond to petitions to deny the transaction and convince federal regulators that the deal should go forward. "Today, we'll begin to see evidence of the strong public support our merger has generated - and it is perhaps the broadest, deepest range of public interest support ever filed at the FCC in support of any transaction," wrote AT&T vice president Jim Cicconi in a blog post. He said support for the merger has only been growing.
