The Federal Communications Commission cleared T-Mobile US Inc. to acquire much of the wireless business of US Cellular Corp and some of its network infrastructure.

The FCC’s nod for T-Mobile’s agreement to buy most of UScellular’s wireless assets came a day after the deal was cleared by the US Department of Justice . On giving its blessing, the communications regulator noted the move would provide substantial benefits for customers of the two operators involved.

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission has approved two T-Mobile deals that would expand the wireless carrier's network, the commission said on Friday, after the company ended its diversity, equity and inclusion programs under pressure from President Donald Trump's administration.
