IMHO, both AT&T and Time-Warner are too big now.

IMHO, we should be discussing “trust-busting” — not competition-stifling “mergers”.

I’m not so sure. ATT is famous for pouring their earnings back to their shareholders. And they have been paying it back as a pretty nice 5% or do dividend for quite some time.

These guys aren’t stupid. They are much more likely to start firing people at CNN than they are to go with the crappy status quo.
