@matigo Sadly, this current administration is going to approve it eventually unless they file a antitrust case against the two companies which is highly unlikely since they favor big business and the companies and administration both share their goals of 5G deployment.
If this was two years ago under the previous regime, it woudn't have happened. This time, it's certain to go through without a real fight. Big question is if the US Department of Justice signs off on it. If so, it's game over since the FCC is guaranteed to approve it.
