Delaware Governor Backs AT&T/T-Mobile

Gov Jack Markell (D-Delaware) supports AT&T's purchase of T-Mobile. Saying it was about getting private sector investment in jobs and helping connect schools and hospitals, among others, to broadband, Gov Markell said in a letter to the Federal Communications Commission that approving the deal "is one way you can help us build a strong climate for investment, education, and employment here in Delaware." That makes a total of 18 governors, to date, according to AT&T, that back the deal.
