Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler said an order has been circulated to the agency’s other four commissioners recommending approval of the deal. The agency has attached numerous conditions, including requirements that AT&T expand its fiber-optic broadband service. The company will also be required to apply any broadband-data caps it imposes on customers to its own over-the-top video service and content to eliminate any chance that it can take advantage of rivals. No requirements were included related to net neutrality.
