Deutsche Telekom Owns Too Much

While the Verizon-Alltel might be going along smoothly, but that acquisition has caused the FCC to review other carriers, and with that, it has found that Deutsche Telekom is violating a US law by owning 30% of T-Mobile USA, as the law states that foreign entities cannot own more than 20% of an entity controlling a common carrier license. The FCC has already sent T-Mobile USA a letter asking how it plans to solve the problem, though it’s been said that the reshuffling of some paperwork should be able to clear things up.
