Verizon has become the latest big company to end policies around diversity, equity and inclusion, or "DEI," in order to keep the U.S. government happy.

Verizon’s $ 20 billion deal to acquire the fiber internet provider Frontier is officially happening. On Friday, the Federal Communications Commission signed off on the merger, which will allow Verizon to “upgrade and expand” Frontier’s existing fiber networks.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has approved Verizon’s proposed $20 billion acquisition of Frontier Communications. The deal has been approved by the regulator after Verizon agreed to end its diversity, equity, and inclusion programs (DEI).
