U.S. Federal Communications Commission will remain skeptical of efforts of top U.S. wireless carriers to merge, the agency's chairman, Tom Wheeler, said in a speech on Tuesday. "I know that achieving scale is good economics, and that there is a natural economic incentive to accrue ever-increasing scale. We will continue to be skeptical of efforts to achieve that scale through the consolidation of major players," Wheeler said, referencing the recently abandoned plan by No. 3 carrier Sprint Corp to purchase No. 4 provider T-Mobile US.
