WASHINGTON, Dec 2 - U.S. wireless carrier AT&T T.N said on Tuesday it had committed to ending DEI programs as it seeks approval from the Trump administration to buy wireless spectrum assets.
In November 2024, AT&T agreed to buy some wireless spectrum licenses from U.S. Cellular in a $1.02 billion deal that requires approval from the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC under President Donald Trump has required telecom firms to end DEI programs as a condition of approving transactions.
