On Thursday, the two companies said they have received all required regulatory approvals, leaving next month's shareholder vote as the final hurdle. "The MetroPCS board strongly believes the economic terms of the combination are extremely compelling for MetroPCS stockholders, remains committed to the proposed combination with T-Mobile and recommends that stockholders vote FOR the proposed combination and the significant value it represents for their investment," the MetroPCS spokesperson said. MetroPCS shares were up three cents to $10.51 early Friday afternoon.
