The new study describes itself as a ‘merger simulation offer[ing] an economically coherent framework, grounded in detailed industry data, for understanding the competitive significance of the proposed merger.’ The analysis represents a substantial body of new material on economic issues central to the review of the proposed transaction. It relies on a newly submitted data set and new methodologies to reach conclusions about the specific effects of the transaction not previously in the record.”Indeed, the FCC is just one of several government organizations that must sign off on the transaction; the Department of Justice is another major government agency that is reviewing it. And just this week, the U.S. assistant attorney general for the agency’s Antitrust Division, Makan Delrahim, spoke with CNBC about the merger.“A lot of times, these mergers, the parties control the timing—about the number of documents they provide. And in that particular transaction, we also—we’re reviewing it, but also the Federal Communications Commission has a role in that transaction,” Delrahim said. “So our timing will coincide together. I don’t know exactly when it is, but, you know, I announced a number of reforms with the hope that if the parties cooperate with us, we’ll be moving things forward and we hope to get every transaction reviewed within six months.”Interestingly, Delrahim was also asked about Sprint’s argument that it won’t be able to effectively compete in the nationwide wireless industry without a merger with T-Mobile. “That would certainly be one of the considerations that goes into a number of factors we would review to see, you know, what would happen to the competitive landscape. Does that—what you’re insinuating, does that mean there’s only be then two competitors if this merger doesn’t happen—and one of them would fail or both of them might fail without this merger? Those would be factors we would consider. But I don’t know if the evidence fully supports that,” he said. -- ???????? | |||
