FCC approves Verizon's $20 billion merger with Frontier

The FCC's approval of the Verizon-Frontier merger marks a historic shift as the companies commit to equal treatment for all customers after years of discriminatory DEI practices. This move signals a departure from decades-long policies favoring certain groups over others, aligning with Trump-era directives to dismantle DEI initiatives. The new structure will invest in upgrading networks with fiber-optic systems in rural areas and other parts of the country, ensuring faster internet for millions of homes.
