"AT&T was in merger talks with regional carrier BellSouth Corp."

I mean wouldn't that be incredibly weird, SBC and BS acquire ATTWS, and then BS acquires ATT. Which would mean technically Cingular could rename itself back to ATTWS.

I really doubt this would happen after the ATTWS acquisition (too much money), and I think the DoJ would definitely stop it under Antitrust laws.

But it truly be the baby Zeus defeating his Titan father. Cool.
