Puerto Rico Justice Department Piles on AT&T Lawsuit

Sep 30, 2011, 2:57 PM by Eric M. Zeman

The Puerto Rico Department of Justice has added its voice to the U.S. Department of Justice's lawsuit against AT&T. Secretary of Justice of Puerto Rico, Guillermo A. Somoza Colombani, filed today in the Federal District Court in Washington, D.C. claiming that if AT&T is allowed to acquire T-Mobile USA, it would violate antitrust laws. "Through this action, the Department of Justice of Puerto Rico seeks to ensure safeguarding the benefit of a competitive market to Puerto Rican consumers. As the transaction is proposed, it would result in a substantial lessening of competition in the relevant geographic market for mobile telecommunications services, both in Puerto Rico, and the rest of the nation." Sprint was quick to commend the government of Puero Rico for its actions today. "Consumers in Puerto Rico, and indeed across the country, should welcome this news. After a comprehensive and thorough antitrust investigation, the Attorney General Somoza-Colombani has come to the same conclusion as these other law enforcement officials: AT&T's proposed takeover of T-Mobile will harm consumers and hurt competition in the wireless industry."
