The Exceptional Wireless Market

My Perspectives from FSF Scholars paper, "Court Affirms T-Mobile/Sprint Merger Will Speed 5G Deployment: California PUC Should Act Without Further Delay," was published today, March 4. It reviews the U.S. District Court's decision rejecting antitrust claims brought by certain state Attorneys General. As I point out in my paper, the California Public Utilities Commission should stop delaying, end its review, and allow the New T-Mobile to bring 5G and other benefits to consumers. 

Importantly, the District Court characterized the wireless market's innovative and competitive conditions as "exceptional." The Infogram that accompanies my Perspectives paper provides a partial snapshot of today's dynamic wireless market. On some Web browsers, the Infogram may be better viewed here.)
