T-Mobile US Inc.’s proposed merger with Sprint Corp. has received a third “yes” vote at the Federal Communications Commission, moving the deal toward agency approval in coming days, according to two people familiar with the matter.
All three Republicans on the five-member agency have voted for the deal, setting in motion procedures that would require agency action by Oct. 9, or Oct. 16 if an extension is requested by a commissioner, the people said. Neither agency Democrat has cast a vote, and both have called for delay.
