    I love how they're saying that ATT and DirecTV aren't competitors

    as if ATT U-verse TV doesn't exist.

    Well, technically they aren't because ATT uses terrestrial and DTV uses satellite.
    It's vertical integration, not horizontal, so totally ok.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    I'm in favor of most Google acquisitions only because as long as the current heads at Google stay there then they are a benevolent dictator. Once those top guys get replaced by people that value profits and shareholders more than innovation - you, me, and everyone else is completely and utterly fucked. Google is literally Skynet levels of big.

    I wouldn't mind if Google buys FiOS off Verizon and converts all into Google Fiber ;o

    Considering Google as benevolent is gullible.

    Google isn't benevolent at all, but they've found a way to make huge amounts of money by giving their products away for free, so i don't really care, personally.

    I guess it's a bit of a stretch to call them benevolent but when compared to other companies that big... Yeah. lol

    Yeah, other multinational super megacorps don't give a flying fuck about their customers and will actively search for ways to screw anybody and everybody they possibly can. This is why megamergers are never good for consumers.
