they don't need DTV

I still remember before the FioS rollout, when VZ was offering DirecTV bundles with their DSL product.

A lot of DTV customers live in FioS territory... seems silly for Verizon to own and manage two seperate delivery systems.

Agree with others that Verizon is focused on FIOS so can't see why they would be interested in acquiring Direct TV.

I have no idea what negotiations with content owners is like. I'd think this type of acquisition would only make sense to a wireline carrier that wanted to offer video in a hurry but did not have deals with content owners.
