T-Mobile's planned $4.4 billion acquisition of substantial UScellular assets has been approved by the US Department of Justice (DOJ). Approval from the DOJ came a day after T-Mobile agreed to end its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies.

T-Mobile was allowed to buy almost all of regional carrier United States Cellular's wireless operations including customers, stores and 30% of its spectrum assets in a deal valued at $4.4 billion.
