WASHINGTON
The chairman of the Federal Communications Commission has come out against the merger of cellphone giant AT&T and T-Mobile USA.
Julius Genachowski made his position known in a proposed order he circulated to fellow commissioners Tuesday.
Genachowski recommended sending AT&T Inc.’s proposed $39 billion takeover of T-Mobile to an administrative law judge for review. That’s what the FCC does when it opposes a merger.
