Re: Competition?
said by disc  :Really, your message is better targetted by lobbyists to their congress critters. Their "greed" => your campaign contributions. Hardly changes the fact that anyone with a 401K / IRA is a beneficiary of the evil corporations and their greed. |

said by sparky672 :Their "greed" => your retirement. Ahh, a little greasing of the skids in the marketplace of ideas. I guess that could help curry some favor with this board, but isn't it a little wasted?

But for AT&T to be against this sort of merger... well that's just the pot calling the kettle black.

Greed?
Shareholders expect companies to be as profitable as legally possible.
Your 401K or IRA most likely has some AT&T shares... as stock or part of some mutual fund.
Their "greed" => your retirement. |

It's all a matter of who had done a better job of paying their lobbyists and bribing errr donating to the campaigns and funds of politicians. That's basically how these disputes get settled. |
