FCC Seeks Data Drop From AT&T, DirecTV

The Federal Communications Commission has requested a raft of additional documents from both AT&T and DirecTV as it vets AT&T’s acquisition. The information requests run to dozens of pages. For example, AT&T's letter includes 81 request. They include everything from regional sports network ownership, online video competition, and carriage negotiations, to the potential value to AT&T of DirecTV's Sunday Ticket package and just what benefits the deal will actually produce.
