it's fitting that monopolistic consolidation from the robber baron age is now the norm in our day

maybe they should call the new firm Standard Telecom

Didn't Charter just buy Time Warner or is Charter the parent company of AT&T? Either way, we're about to get some E Corp shit within the next decade.

time warner and time warner cable are 2 different companies. att just bought hbo with this.

>>57192736
It's bad.It's means a Comcast/At&t duopoly for next decades to come from.. I'm not sure where you guy lives, but the only viable internet I have is either at&t or comcast. It's suck.

The only good thing that came out of this is that Comcast didn't buy time warner.

Seconding this

Time Warner cable - cable internet
Time Warner - Tv shows and movies
Time - magazines

Current AT&T employee here. Nothing will really change except more gimmicky bullshit like add a new cellphone line and get HBO free for a year etc etc

nobody is especially interested in whether a wage slave at an AT&T store thinks his hours are going to be shifted around due to some merger.

>>57195729
I chuckled

It's irrelevant because they only hinted at the idea and it is highly unlikely the government will permit them to merge.

And if they did, nothing will really change. AT&T won't make good on that content production and squander it like they do all their investments and just like AOL did before spitting them back out.

>still getting triggered by anons posting black women
Look, I understand you're new here, so I'm going to give you some advice: 4chan is not your personal safe space or hugbox. It's a 4chan tradition for trolls to post more of stuff that triggers other anons. The more you try to fight the trolls, the more they'll keep posting. If you don't want to do that, I recommend you return to reddi.t or whatever site you're from.

Fuck off

It means paying more for worse quality. Technology will be further stunted from their monopolistic control over the market. Less competition means less innovation.

This is really fucking bad.
