USA - Justice Dept ends investigation into SMS pricing

[wsj] The Justice Department has informed several wireless carriers that it has concluded an inquiry into whether the carriers colluded to set text-messaging rates and has no plans to take action on this issue, according to industry and government officials with knowledge of the agency's inquiry.

The Justice Department antitrust division's conclusion is a win for the nation's largest wireless carriers, including AT&T Inc., Verizon Wireless, Sprint Nextel Corp. and T-Mobile USA Inc., which have defended their text-messaging fees.
