THIS will not end well!

Hmmm, the players say costs will go down for the consumer. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. I have a lightly used bridge for sale in Brooklyn....cheap.

And for those who think they are safe from what increases this causes because they have Verizon or some other carrier.....good luck.

Isn't it interesting that a judge can spend hundreds, maybe thousands of hours listening to the evidence, both pro and con, on a complicated subject, before rendering a verdict, only to have his verdict questioned by people who didn't spend ten minutes listening to the evidence?

Oh and it is either today. or yesterday that the rules on NET NEUTRALITY ... Died.
Net neutrality means you get as much bandwidth as you pay for.
But now some companies get MORE and some LESS than they are paying for.

SO you may find for example THIS forum loading S-L-O-W-E-R and Twitter lightening fast. or ..

Well pick any two internet content providers.. You may now find one slow and the other fast where as last week they were both the same.

Anything ATT is questionable except their cell phone division.

The merger is not with Time Warner Cable, it's with Time Warner Inc, the entertainment/media company that owns HBO, CNN and Warner Brothers Studios among other things. It is not a merger of like-companies. It is a merger of two companies that produce two different components of a product - the product being "content" (movies, "TV" shows, etc.). AT&T had the network to deliver it, now they own the company that creates a lot of it.

Reminds me of the time Chevy and Toyota contemplated a merger. (remember that? Well, if you don't, let me remind you). Both company big-wigs sat down and started hammering out the possibilities and how a merger could be done. All was going well until the discussion of the name-brand of the new future automobile. What would it be called. Chevrolet would no longer work since the company would actually be half invested with Toyota. Toyota could not use that name either for obvious reasons.

A compromise was derived, which eventually killed the entire deal and the merger never happened when someone came up with the name for their new automobile ... The Toy-let! 😉

And the proposed merger between T-Mobile and Sprint won’t help either.

I am reminded of when the Detroit Free Press and the Detroit News entered into a Joint Operating Agreement. basically becomming one paper with two mastheads.

They promised no price increse.. That lasted about 2 weeks.
