The US Department of Justice filed a federal action on August 30, 2011 in a recent attempt to block the proposed AT&T/T-Mobile merger currently pending before the Federal Communications Commission.
AT&T released a statement in which is promised to
vigorously contest this matter in court.I find that highly unlikely. I believe that AT&T and T-Mobile will do almost anything to restructure the deal to appease the Justice Department. AT&T needs this merger to enable it to compete with Verizon Wireless and its LTE (i.e. 4G) service being rolled out in more markets each and every day.
