[EX Q]: (CNN) -- Verizon pulled a rabbit out of its corporate hat earlier this month. The wireless giant announced a multibillion-dollar deal to purchase rights to largely unused spectrum, which is like an open lane on the congested wireless Internet highway. Verizon purchased these rights from Comcast and Time Warner, two large cable-TV companies, and the smaller Bright House Networks. Sound familiar? AT&T made a similarly surprising move in March, declaring its intention to buy T-Mobile, in large part to get access to T-Mobile's underused spectrum. The AT&T deal drew the wrath of the Justice Department and the FCC. Indeed, it appears the current incarnation of the AT&T proposed merger is dying a slow death. U.S. District Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle agreed on Monday to a request from both sides to delay the merger hearing, and asked AT&T to supply information on whether it will pursue a different deal with T-Mobile.Writers: Verizon, AT&T deals are attempts to get more spectrum for wireless servicesSpectrum, or bandwidth, is getting scarce because it is badly used, they maintainWashington could sell spectrum for billions of dollars, they say, still minimize monopoliesWriters: Until then, regulators should look more kindly on telecom mergers 
 Question:Unlike the proposed AT&T/T-Mobile merger, _'s acquisition doesn't involve taking millions of subscribers from a competitor, thereby increasing concentration in the wireless market.
