Re: Well I guess
said by n2jtx  :They both agreed at the time their licenses were issued that neither provider would try to acquire the other. That agreement is still in force unless they are now claiming it was just a joke. Technically, neither is trying to acquire the other: it's a "merger of equals". Acquisition implies that one owns a controlling stake of the other. Merger of equals implies that neither owns a controlling stake of the other.
