Every company talking to the FCC about the T-Mobile-Sprint merger has an ax to grind
1

As the FCC and FTC mull over their response to the proposed T-Mobile merger with Sprint, the FCC in particular has been bombarded with comments from companies and people who believe that they will be affected by the transaction. For example, you have the Communications Workers of America (CWA) complaining to the agency via a letter, stating that the deal will lead to the loss of 30,000 jobs. The CAW sees T-Mobile cutting duplicate positions and shutting retail stores that have overlapping reach.
An unlikely supporter of the merger is AT&T. A report sent to clients by New Street Research says that Randall Stephenson, CEO of AT&T, would like to see the T-Mobile-Sprint merger approved without any conditions. That sounds a little strange since a merged T-Mobile-Sprint would be going after AT&T as soon as the deal closes. But as it turns out, Stephenson does have one little request. He doesn't want the FCC to order the combined company to divest any of its assets, including pre-paid operations, to AT&T's competitors.
:"C Spire, the nation’s largest privately-held facilities-based wireless operator, is a net payor of roaming revenue to the nationwide carriers. As a result, it favors robust competition in the wholesale market which serves to drive prices down for the benefit of consumers. The public interest will be best served by a denial of the Proposed Transaction which, if allowed, will remove Sprint, the acknowledged low cost provider of wholesale services, from the market."-CSpire letter to FCC
