From FTC to 5G: The Tipline for 24 February 2022

The only thing T-Mobile loves more than testing the limits of casual work attire is forking out for antitrust lawyers. After hiring an all-star lineup to litigate T-Mobile/Sprint, the company poached Mark Nelson from Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton to be its top in-house lawyer. Now T-Mobile is hiring a former member of the Federal Trade Commission’s front office as its top antitrust attorney. Also in Tipline, the FTC wants to lock down plans with Meta for the 2023 holiday season and a group of House lawmakers decry the EU’s Digital Markets Act.
