Just came from a hearing at USTR, where Amazon, Facebook, Google and a slew of other tech firms slammed France’s new tax on digital services. On top of arguing the tax is discriminatory and hard to calculate, Amazon went further and said it’ll pass on the tax beginning Oct. 1. — PolitiTweet.org

But no matter how long it takes, there’s still the multi-state lawsuit to block the merger. T-Mobile and Sprint have agreed not to close their deal until after that case is resolved. A trial is expected in early December. — PolitiTweet.org

Pai’s got the votes, as he and the FCC’s two other Republicans, @BrendanCarrFCC and @mikeofcc have already expressed support for the deal. But it could take days or even weeks for the proposal to clear, depending on what agency Democrats decide to do. — PolitiTweet.org
