NEWS ALERT
from The Wall Street Journal

AT&T is planning to acquire BellSouth for roughly $65 billion. A
deal between the two could be announced as early as Monday.

I somehow wonder if the old executives at Ma Bell had already worked
out a timeline for resurrecting her well before she was split up ..

Not that mind-boggling. The FCC under the Bush administration has been a
joke from the get-go. (This coming from a very right-leaning
independent).

This is the ultimate shell game, considering ATT's antics last year.
