The T-Mobile-Sprint merger got a huge boost Monday with FCC chair Ajit Pai's announcement.

The companies have committed to deploying rural broadband and advance 5G next gen wireless service.

Penalties add up to $2.4 billion per year if they don't do that and other things they have promised.

They will also spin off prepaid wireless service Boost Mobile to address competition concerns, Broadcastingcable.com reports.

That was apparently enough to get the FCC chairman on board, and to secure his vote for approval of the proposed merger.

A draft order approving the deal including conditions will be laid out in the next several weeks.
