This Week In AT&T/T-Mo -- Everyone's Favorite Telecom Reality Show

[Commentary] It’s been a fun few days in AT&T/T-Mo land to say the least.

I swear, this has become my favorite telecom reality show since Death Star Reborn: The AT&T/BellSouth Telenovella finished its series run back in December 2006. The staff report is so good, so comprehensive, so wonderfully vicious and snarky while simultaneously avoiding any suggestion whether the existing market might have some problems, that it is getting a post of its own as soon as I can manage. Seriously, I keep hearing the opening number from “Legally Blond – the Musical” (Omigodyouguys!) every time I read it. Oh, that I have lived to see this day! As others have noted, it basically says: "Do you think we are stupid? Not only are your models inaccurate and results driven, but your own internal documents show you don't believe this nonsense you expect us to swallow. Oh, and that EPI report on jobs you keep throwing around, it doesn't say this merger will create jobs. So please stop lying your ass off about this or prove it to an administrative law judge. We should sit back and enjoy the show. With the mainstream media finally catching on that AT&T might have stretched the truth a bit, both about the benefits of the merger and the likelihood of closing, I'm not sure how long AT&T will continue to spin this out. But not to worry, I plan to sit through 'till the final episode.
