A total of 26 House Democrats sent a letter Wednesday urging the Federal Communications Commission to wrap up its review of AT&T’s $81 billion merger with BellSouth. “While we urge you to consider all the merits of the proposed merger, timely review of the merger will expedite the implementation of the commitment AT&T has made to broadband deployment and significantly enhance our constituents’ access to affordable broadband services, benefiting both their lives and our nation’s prosperity,” the letter said. Among those signing the letter were Reps. Jane Harmon (D-Calif.), Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) and Gene Green (D-Texas).
