AT&T buys BellSouth for $67 billion

BREAKING! - AT&T to buy BellSouth for $67 billion. AT&T will soon be the big Ma Bell it once used to be. Ah yes, the glory days of a monopolistic telecom industry. The "Cingular" brand will also be phased out as part of this deal (in favor of te AT&T brand). Verizon, a competitor will be certainly be dwarfed as a result of this huge deal.

Why in the world did AT&T sell AT&T wireless 2 years ago and then turn around and buy/merge/ whatever/ Cingular now. They new then they were after this bundled service deal. Hey dumby AT&T you should have kept AT&T wireless and left my Cingular alone. Cingular is a better brand to market than AT&T. You'll be sorry you will lose mobile phone sales now. With Cingular you talk to a person, since SBC bought AT&T, and now for some dumb reason they still call it AT&T. I call in and all I get is a stupid automated guy to talk to. It's like those stupid self check-outs!
