US Government Attempts to Block AT&T – T-Mobile Merger
The United States govenrment has filed an anti-trust complaint in an attempt to block AT&T’s attempted $39billion purchase of T-Mobile USA Inc. The Justice Department complaint says
The Justice Department complaint was filed today in federal court inWashington. The U.S. is seeking a declaration that Dallas-based AT&T’s takeover of T-Mobile, a unit of Deutsche Telekom AG (DTE), would violate U.S. antitrust law and a court order blocking any arrangement implementing the deal.
It would appear that this whole merger could be dead in the water unless AT&T can get creative. Only time will tell.
Sony, Toshiba and Hitachi to Join Forces
Sony, Toshiba, and Hitachi are looking to merge into one LCD making Voltron. With their powers combined they’d leap frog ahead of Sharp (Japan) and Samsung (South Korea). The merger wont come cheap either. The companies will siphon off 200 billion yen (about $2.6 billion) in government backed funds. A move that could garner some flack. The Innovation Network Corp of Japan (INCJ) would get almost a 70% stake in the venture with each of the 3 companies taking 10%. They hope to complete the merger by spring of 2012.
