FCC Chair Brendan Carr has issued a warning that companies with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies may not receive approval for mergers and acquisitions. This pressure led T-Mobile to remove its DEI webpage ahead of finalizing its joint venture with Lumos. T-Mobile's executive confirmed compliance with Carr's directives by reviewing their DEI practices. In response, Democrats on the Energy and Commerce Committee have commenced an investigation into the resources spent by FCC on these matters, suggesting political contention surrounding the FCC's focus on DEI.
FCC Chair Brendan Carr warned companies with DEI policies could face merger and acquisition denials, compelling T-Mobile to remove its DEI webpage before closing a deal.
In a push against DEI, Carr stated that companies should end forms of discrimination for mergers to be approved, pushing T-Mobile to align with his agenda.
