Cingular/AT&T Wireless merger on the fast-track
Despite the best efforts of plenty of people to block this from even happening at all, both the Justice Department and the FCC are on a fast-track to approve the mega-merger between Cingular and AT&T Wireless by October. And even if Cingular might be experiencing some buyer's remorse given AT&T Wireless' recent nosedive in terms of customer satisfaction, number of subscribers, and reputation, they're past the point of no return because apparently neither the Justice Department nor the FCC are going to impose any serious restrictions on the deal that might give Cingular a way to back out. Not that we're saying they're trying to, it's just that $41 billion is a lot of money when you think about what they're getting.
