Come Together, Ma Bell: AT&T to buy BellSouth
Somewhere, Blair Levin is laughing out loud tonight. For it was at Fall VON that I distinctly remember him saying: "...and when SBC (now AT&T) buys BellSouth, then they will say that 'finally we have the economies of scale to deploy broadband networks.' " Looks like we'll be able to find out if Blair was right:
TECHNOLOGY ALERT from The Wall Street Journal. AT&T is planning to acquire BellSouth for roughly $65 billion. A deal between the two could be announced as early as Monday.
If you subscribe to the Journal (which we all do, right?), the link is here.
(Note: Blair, of course, was joking. Sort of. But even as a joke, pretty good material, no?)
