INSKEEP: The big phone company is trying to convince regulators to approve its $93 billion deal to merge with T-Mobile. Regulators and lawmakers have worried the merger would mean job losses. So AT&T is promising to bring back 5,000 call center jobs that are now overseas.
AT&T has also said it would retain call center employees who already work for both companies in the United States. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
