FCC says will not undermine DOJ in AT&T review

WASHINGTON | Wed Aug 31, 2011 2:56pm EDT

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Federal Communications Commission said it will not undermine the Justice Department in its review of AT&T Inc's $39 billion bid for Deutsche Telekom AG's T-Mobile USA.

The Justice Department filed a lawsuit to block the deal on Wednesday because of anti-competition concerns.

The FCC has never approved a significant takeover that the Justice Department has challenged in court, a commission official said.
