Re: 2 Dem commissioners likely to vote "YES" on merger
quote:
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.
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.
