Richmond, VA | No problem AT&T will eventually get it anyway. They'll just wait for the next Republican president, then buy both Qwest and Verizon. No need to bother with the auction. Too messy! | |

| Re: No problem said by MrMoody :I haven't seen the Dems do much to discourage anti-competitive corporate actions, either. Sure would be nice to see ANY third political party stand a chance for once. Try this 2008 nightmare election scenario on for size: Clinton vs. Giuliani
I know I'll be pulling the third-party lever. | |

| Re: No problem said by grandpinaple :Are you kidding me? Verizon has more money than AT&T and Quest combined. Verizon is spending theirs hand-over-fist on FIOS. AT&T is lurking in the weeds, waiting to pounce. It only takes one bad quarter for some wise guy to suggest that Verizon is "in play". | |

| Re: No problem They have been at it for 3 years already. Verizon isn't stupid they are keeping their dividends high despite their massive infrastructure investment. AT&T won't be able to merge their way into this cake. AT&T can't have their cake and eat it this time to. Why would Verizon want to be apart of a giant infrastructure dinosaur that is probably going to be knee deep in the red when DOCSIS 3.0 kicks uverse into the toilet. | |

@verizon.net | Not even close. Verizon VZ has a market cap of 128.50 Billion. AT&T T has a market cap of 252.31 Billion which makes AT&T worth almost twice as much as Verizon. | |
