In a sneaky Thanksgiving announcement, AT&T says it’s putting aside $4 Billion to cover the breakup fee owed to T-Mobile in the event the merger doesn’t go through.
The combined entity would be the largest mobile carrier in the country, with 43.3% of the market, compared to Verizon’s 34.3%. Is that so different that the government should be intervening here?
The FCC hasn’t held an administrative hearing since 2002, when the DirecTV/Echostar merger fell apart. This doesn’t look good for AT&T.

Ron Wyden, US Senator from Oregon and recent EFF Pioneer Award Winner, is threatening to filibuster PIPA. That’s a good thing. Among other things Protect-IP will create an internet blacklist for sites like YouTube that even accidentally host infringing content. This covers even innocent things like 12-year-olds singing Christina Aguilera songs.
Anyway, Wyden has brilliantly started a petition against PIPA and its Senate companion, SOPA, and will read the names of all signers into the record if/when he has to filibuster the act in the Senate. He’s even create a YouTube video to pitch the concept. Sign the petition at StopCensorship.org.
