Why the AT&T's 48 B DIRECTV Deal Is the Dumbest, Most Wasteful Deal Ever (at Least Since Comcast–Time Warner Cable), all for a streaming service, not counting the Tmobile blunder, there is a say in ATO, "the smart ones left already"

To the hard working fools working for AT&T, With the amount of profit DIRECTV brings in each year (about $2.9 billion), it will take AT&T more than two decades to pay for this merger, no counting any interest this debt may represents AT&T’s executives may not be good at innovating, but they do know how to grow profits by killing competition. Buying DIRECTV will reduce pay-TV choice for about a quarter of the U.S. population. And with that comes higher prices, along with your job.
Indeed, as Recon Analytics analyst Roger Entner noted, “This deal is about getting more money from the same customers.” Merry christmas Randall and cronies
