California Regulators May Scrutinize AT&T/T-Mobile Merger

The proposed merger between AT&T and T-Mobile may be under scrutiny of the FCC presently, but it also may have to pass muster with the State of California. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is considering requests to open a formal proceeding to gather more information on the merger.

Critics of the marriage are quite happy about this development. Sprint, for example, submitted a protest to the CPUC regarding AT&T's filing, asking the Commission to conduct a review.
