* Pending the feds allowing this to go through
There has been enough antitrust scrutiny in recent years where I am very interested to see how far this goes. There's a very real chance the sale won't complete and 6 months from now nothing will have changed.
(for reference I'm a libertarian, but let's call a spade a spade)
Recall that the Trump administration tried (and ultimately failed) to block the AT&T and Time Warner merger. And then there was the antitrust complaint against Google.
Talk about a Pyrrhic victory. AT&T really, really wishes it had lost that one.
