US EditionT-Mobile ending DEI programs as it seeks US FCC approval for 2 deals
UNITED STATES, JUL 11 – T-Mobile disbands DEI initiatives and removes all references to comply with FCC demands amid regulatory scrutiny over $4.4 billion mergers, joining a wider corporate rollback of DEI programs.
- T-Mobile has decided to discontinue its initiatives promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion as it pursues approval from the FCC for acquiring U.S. Cellular’s wireless operations and forming a partnership with Metronet.
- This action follows President Trump's January 22 Executive Order that terminated federal DEI programs and pressured private companies to discontinue such policies.
- T-Mobile confirmed it will no longer employ or assign workers to DEI initiatives, removed DEI references from websites and training, and will reassign former DEI staff to other roles.
- FCC Chair Brendan Carr praised T-Mobile's action as a positive move toward promoting fairness, nondiscrimination, and serving the public good, while Commissioner Anna Gomez criticized it as a strategic attempt to secure favor with the FCC rather than a genuine effort to address discrimination.
- The FCC must approve T-Mobile's deals involving $4.4 billion for U.S. Cellular and a joint venture that covers over 2 million homes, but it remains uncertain if ending DEI policies will secure regulatory approval.
