U.S. regulators oppose and may reject T-Mobile US Inc.’s request to change the rules for an airwaves auction next year to favor it and other smaller companies, according to people familiar with the matter.
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler will recommend the agency deny T-Mobile’s request, according to two people familiar with briefings agency officials have given industry representatives. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the meetings weren’t public.
