Not gonna happen. AT&T just ditched Dish and went to DirecTV. No way are they going to let Verizon buy up D*. If I were to link to an unsubstantiated rumor, I'd go for an AT&T purchase rather than VZW.
And this is At&T's decision how? Do they own DTV? If not, they have no control over who purchases it.
They *do* have the power to simply buy up all the stock.
OH - and furthermore, AT&T has a rural business plan. VZW does not.
