The FCC has been working over final conditions for the deal since December, when chairman Julius Genachowski circulated a draft order for the approval to the FCC’s other four commissioners.

Since then the commissioners have been hearing last-minute appeals from lobbyists and public interest groups who have emphasised the need for strict conditions that will prevent harmful control of distribution.
