 jtel join:2005-06-28 Bristol, RI | AT&T Sweating Bullets They want this over with before the end of the year when a possibly democrat controlled house or senate could push this the wrong way. They should have just bought out Cingular and left the rest. I never read anywhere what analysts felt the breakdown was, how much is the Bell South portion of the merger costs? Bell South is ravaged by hurricane damage every year and after Katrina they are now completely self insured $$$$. Cingular control is the gem.
McDowell steps in and votes for the merger, ends controversy, retires with a bonus. |
