Response/Comments
No. The only applicability of 7A(c)(6) to transactions requiring FCC approval was to mergers, consolidations and control acquisitions by telephone and telegraph companies (47 USC 221(a)). The old editions of the Axxin Fogg treatise discuss this in the Exemptions section. That provision was subsequently repealed in 1996 (Pub. L. 104-104, title VI, Sec. 601(b)(2), Feb. 8, 1996, 110 Stat. 143).
