AT&T chief executive Randall Stephenson said the Federal Communications Commission has been slow to arrange auctions to provide wireless airwaves needed as use of smartphones and other mobile devices increases.
Stephenson’s company abandoned a $39 billion merger with T-Mobile USA last month after resistance from the FCC and Justice Department.
“This FCC has made it abundantly clear” it won’t allow significant mergers “to help bridge their delays in freeing up new spectrum,” Stephenson said. “It appears the FCC is intent on picking winners and losers” in auctions.
