Verizon spectrum deal stalled by Justice Department's concerns about competition http://j.mp/LOF1g3 (The Verge) "The Wall Street Journal is reporting that while the FCC is "essentially prepared to sign off" on Verizon Wireless's $3.9 billion deal to acquire AWS spectrum for LTE devices from a consortium of cable companies, Justice Department officials are still worried about the deal's antitrust implications. The office's major concern is cross-selling - Verizon's re-selling of cable service from Comcast or Time Warner, and vice versa - which it thinks could inhibit competition in the broadband internet market, and leave many customers without coverage." - - - --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren@vortex.com): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org Founder: - Data Wisdom Explorers League: http://www.dwel.org - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance: http://www.gctip.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://vortex.com/g+lauren / Twitter: http://vortex.com/t-lauren Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list http://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
