The Department of Justice brought a lawsuit seeking to block AT&T’s proposed acquisition of T-Mobile, asserting that it would combine two of the four providers of mobile wireless telecommunications services and eliminate a “maverick.” The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed the rejection of New York City’s challenge to a merger of health insurers for failure to define a plausible relevant market.
Other recent antitrust developments of note included a thorough opinion by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit concluding that statutory limitations on the extraterritorial application of federal antitrust laws are substantive rather than jurisdictional and a ruling about ice cream distribution in Puerto Rico by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.
