The FCC would prefer that Sprint not propose a buy of T-Mobile, Credit Suisse analysts said in a research note Thursday, based on a “field trip” to meet with agency officials. “Our read is that the commission, or at least the majority, would rather not have to evaluate a potential transaction like Sprint/T-Mobile,” Credit Suisse said. “While the Democrat officers seemed quite satisfied with the current state of wireless competition, they were clear that any deal brought in front of them would get a fair evaluation and would be judged on its merits. The burden would seem to fall on the involved parties to convince the commission that it would be beneficial for consumers.”
