AT&T to Buy DirecTV for $48.5 Billion
Wow this stinks
I love directv the way it was. I hope att does not change it like they tend to do. Directv was a better choice than cable I have had them for years.... Don't know what the future will hold this is starting to really stink.
I have both AT&T and Directv and from my experience they both have great customer service! I am stoked for this deal as I believe AT&T is going to take their service to the next level with offering and packages!

There We Have It.
AT&T once a monopoly then broken up, is back together again thanks to failed government. If this deal goes through, AT&T will be the largest pay tv provider in the world.
We look at how they will finance this deal and it clearly shows how the smaller carriers could not compete on the financial level of buying power regardless of "parent companies" involvement. AT&T was always in control even after the break up.
Here it is people in black and white. You asked for it, you've got it. Welcome to the dystopian mega merge era where companies gain power and the consumers lose choice.

Go blame your corrupt government and corporate lobbyists.
Capitalism got out of control in this country - and so did the influence and campaign donations.

We the people need to kick butt and take names. This Mega Company rules the world for sure now. The government is corrupt on both sides of the coin. These mega mergers are hurting the system thats for sure, Less choice and more Greed.

While they'll be very large, Comcast is will still be larger.
