| sigh - again? This merger would make sense since AT&T relies on Echostar to complete its "triple play" for most consumers. AT&T only pulls fiber to wealthy new residential communities, the rest get old DSL, IP telephony, a dish and an exploding telcom dslam box on the curb. But this takes us back, all the way to 2000, when AT&T was the largest cable operator in the country having bought out TCI and Media One only to sell it all to Comcast in 2001 while taking a 53 billion dollar loss. And one wonders why Wall Street hasn't trashed this monster yet - oh nevermind . . . |
