The Department of Justice (DOJ) no longer opposes the merger of T-Mobile and UScellular and has closed its investigation into the matter, the department said in a July 10 statement.
In May last year, the companies had announced an agreement in which T-Mobile would acquire “substantially all of UScellular’s wireless operations” in a $4.4 billion deal, T-Mobile said in a May 28, 2024, statement. The transaction was set to be completed by mid-2025, provided regulatory conditions and other requirements were met.
