Representative Anna Eshoo (D-California) has sparred with the telecommunications industry over issues like net neutrality and privacy over the years. Wednesday, however, she came out swinging in support of T-Mobile and Sprint.

Eshoo spoke at a hearing of the House Energy and Commerce Committee on T-Mobile’s proposed $26.5 billion acquisition of Sprint, announced in April 2018. If approved, the deal would reduce the number of major carriers in the US from four to three. But Eshoo argued that that's the wrong way to look at it.
