Feds approve MetroPCS/T-Mobile deal

 The Federal Communications Commission has given its approval to a proposed combination of Richardson-based MetroPCS Communications Inc. and T-Mobile USA Inc.
 

The deal, structured as a recapitalization, must still get the green light from shareholders of MetroPCS, a wireless phone and data services company.

 

A shareholder vote on that is set for April 12. A proxy fight has erupted over the terms the deal, with dissident shareholders saying the combined firm would carry too much debt, among other things.

 

On a related front, federal antitrust watchdogs closed their investigation into the deal, concluding the deal will not harm competition and may make T-Mobile stronger, according to Bloomberg.
