Getting the go-ahead from the CA Public Utilities Commission, Sprint (NYSE:S) and SoftBank (OTCPK:SFTBF) announce they've received all necessary state regulatory approvals for their transaction (Softbank's purchase of a majority stake in Sprint). Next up is the FCC and a government panel which reviews foreign investments. DISH has yet to win these state approvals, maybe giving an edge to SoftBank which can promise a speedier and more certain closing.
