AT&T, Sprint Face 9 State Subpoenas in Reviews of T-Mobile Bid

AT&T Inc.’s proposed $39 billion purchase of T-Mobile USA Inc. prompted subpoenas of AT&T and Sprint Nextel Corp. by nine states in connection with antitrust reviews.

Sprint’s subpoenas came from Arizona, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas and Washington, and the U.S. Justice Department, the company said in a June 28 letter posted on the Federal Communications Commission’s website. AT&T Inc. got requests for data from the same states, Michael Balmoris, a company spokesman, said.
