SBC-AT&T Deal Could Be a Replay

February 06, 2005

Regarding "Baby Bell SBC May Buy Its Onetime Parent AT&T," Jan. 28:

Wouldn't the regulators who stopped the merger of WorldCom and Sprint years ago oppose an SBC-AT&T merger?

After all, doesn't SBC own Cingular? If Cingular buys AT&T, wouldn't that create the same type of monopoly that the regulators were trying to stop when they stopped the merger between WorldCom and Sprint?

AT&T already owns long distance. Now the combined company would own one of the biggest cellphone companies and local phone companies as well.
