The U.S Federal Communications Commission Approves +$6B Verizon & TracFone Wireless Deal

By John F. Heerdink, Jr.

Reportedly, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission has approved Verizon Communications, Inc. (VZ) more than $6 billion acquisition of pre-paid mobile phones provider TracFone Wireless, following the California Public Utilities Commission’s approval of the deal last week. 

FCC informed the required conditions will protect low-income consumers from price increases and also requires the company to continue to participate in low-income telecommunications in Lifeline, which is a subsidy program.

Verizon welcomed the FCC’s approval, stating the deal would “provide customers with the best of both worlds: more choices, better services and new features.”

The deal was approved by the Justice Department last year. Verizon is the largest U.S. wireless carrier by subscribers. TracFone is a unit of Mexican telecom company America Movil, which serves more than 20 million customers.

Verizon Communications, Inc. (VZ) is a worldwide leader in delivering communications and technology solutions that improve the lives of its customers. To learn more about Verizon Communications, Inc.
