WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Federal Communications Commission on Tuesday released its order approving T-Mobile US Inc’s (O:) proposed $26.5 billion tie-up with Sprint Corp (N:) in a vote split along party lines.

Chairman Ajit Pai and two Republican commissioners voted to approve the deal while two Democratic commissioners voted against it.
