|  2 Dem commissioners likely to vote "YES" on merger
»www.dicksonherald.com/apps/pbcs.···61229009
AT&T offered the concessions after a little more than a week of marathon negotiations with lawyers who work for the two Democrats on the commission, Michael Copps and Jonathan Adelstein, documents show. Looks like the Dem commissioners won't need any study time since it was their lawyers who brokered the AT&T concessions. I would expect the 2 Dems to OK a deal they brokered.

All that means is they tried to give Copps and Adelstein what they want -- not necessarily that they actually did.
Edit: This link seems to more fully suggest they're ready to play:

Our understanding is that AT&T has cleared the language of the concessions with FCC officials, including the two Democratic commissioners who have been withholding their approval. So unless there’s a last-minute surprise or political backlash (which we are not seeing so far), our sense is the [FCC] is likely to clear the transaction today so that the companies can close the merger today,” Stifel Nicolaus analysts said in a client note Friday.

Oh wow, gezz what a concession. Naked DSL at 768k. I bet they restrict who the Naked DSL can terminate to as well. BellSouth already refuses to allow their Wholesale customers to offer 6.0 or 256k service. I am sure that AT&T will allow you to have naked DSL as long as it is with AT&T/SBC/BellSouth.net.
A real since of broadband competition. |
