said by fAcEtIOUs:Yes, I think it would face a tough look from regulators if they decide to go forward with this deal. Especially, if in November, the Dems win the White House AND also expand their control of Congress. BIG MERGERS will face a tough time - at least for awhile and until the industry lobbyists get their hooks deep in to a new administration. And that usually takes a year or so.
I have a feeling Obama will warm up to lobbyists quickly when he (unfortunately) wins. Either way, I hope this faces a tough time. Personally I think there have been too many mergers in the past 5+ years especially in the telecom industry.
