U.S. Justice Dept. moves to block AT&T, T-Mobile merger
Quote:
The U.S. government on Wednesday officially filed suit to block AT&T’s proposed $39 billion acquisition of T-Mobile.

The reason? The acquisition of America’s fourth-largest carrier by its second-largest would “substantially lessen competition” in the industry, violating U.S. antitrust law.
The full article, as well as the official complaint, are available here.

Oh thank god. AT&T and Verizon aren't exactly "aggressive" competitors. Things can only get worse as the number of other carriers diminishes.

As a Verizon customer, I....agree with this. I hope the merger gets blocked.

Even though I started the topic, I have absolutely no opinion on it, since I don't live in US and don't really give a crap what happens to the telecom industry there...
