April 20 (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Communications Commission on Thursday voted 2-1 to significantly ease regulatory requirements in the $45 billion business data services market, a win for companies like AT&T, CenturyLink, Verizon Communications and others but could lead to price hikes for many small businesses. The vote is a blow to companies like Sprint Corp and others that claim prices for business data are too high and backed a 2016 plan under President Barack Obama that would have cut prices but was never approved.

Verizon, Sprint Corp, and AT&T all considered this vote to be a win.
The statement is in the correct category because the excerpt says that Verizon and AT&T considered this vote to be a win, but that the vote was also a blow to companies like Sprint Corp. The system may have had difficulty due to all of the listed companies being phone carriers and in a similar market.
