The judge presiding over the Department of Justice's antitrust lawsuit against AT&T has set a preliminary trial date for February 13, 2012. AT&T met with the Justice Department in court today and the parties were not able to reach a quick settlement as the judge hoped. The trial will not require a jury, but the judge expects the hear arguments from the parties for up to six weeks. AT&T had pushed for an earlier date in order to help speed up the process, but was denied. The judge also refused to combine Sprint's lawsuit against AT&T with the Justice Department's lawsuit. A preliminary hearing has been set for October 26, though the judge said she intends to make a decision regarding Sprint's lawsuit as soon as possible. The Department of Justice contends that if AT&T is allowed to acquire T-Mobile, consumers will face fewer choices and higher costs.

AT&T constantly evades or violates legislation of which it disapproves. At the risk of sounding a tad redundant, let me add that we find among narrow and uneducated minds the belief that all it takes to solve our social woes are shotgun marriages, heavy-handed divorce laws, and a return to some mythical 1950s Shangri-la. This belief is due to a basic confusion that can be cleared up simply by stating that if we're to effectively carry out our responsibilities...

I should be on the clock to read that. That was a book
It is nearly impossible to count how many words are in the English language, yet you have apparently succeeded in compiling all of them in this single post. 😁

So there may be hope.
Obviously I'm anti-merger, but I thought it would end up eventually happening anyway. Perhaps there's hope of it not happening afterall.
When a company bids 39 Billion you would think they did their research. So assuming of course they did, the merger is eventually going to happen. However I am not anti-merger, I think it would be great for both companies (as do both companies). T-M...

And now it begins
So how much money will the judge make to get this merger approved?
Feb. 13 luckily for AT&T falls on a Monday and not a Friday.

Almost two years to the day from the time I started service with AT&T 😳
Ohh. So that's what they're waiting for. 🙂
Ha.
"The Department of Justice contends that if AT&T is allowed to acquire T-Mobile, consumers will face fewer choices and higher costs."
The Department also contends that the sky is blue, grass is green, and Shaq is tall.
Grass is red, and AT&T is concerned with the DOJ's mistaken belief that it's green.
