Whether AT&T and Time Warner will be allowed to merge will be decided by a judge tomorrow. The Department of Justice opposed the the attempted merger 20 months ago
>U.S. District Judge Richard Leon’s is planning to announce Tuesday in a federal court in Washington, D.C., his decision on whether AT&T’s acquisition of Time Warner can move forward. The announcement is scheduled for 4:00 p.a. Tuesday.
>The decision has the potential to reshape corporate America, especially at the unstable intersection of technology, telecommunications, and media. To be sure, companies such as Facebook, Netflix, Amazon, Google, and Disney will all be paying close attention.
>A win for the government, which sued to block the deal 20 months ago, could curtail the survival-of-the-biggest approach that has led to ever more consolidation in telecom and media companies. It could set new legal precedent that would allow antitrust enforcement lawyers at the U.S. Department of Justice to more closely police mega-mergers and the growth of technology companies into communications and commerce conglomerations.

The Judge approved the merger
>AT&T scored a major triumph in its scheme to become a telecom-media behemoth Tuesday when a federal judge gave the green light to its $85.4 billion takeover of Time Warner.
>The decision by Judge Richard Leon is a setback for Makan Delrahim, President Trump’s appointee to the top spot in the Justice Department’s antitrust division, challenging his view of antitrust laws in the digital era. Most analysts believe that the decision is likely to set off a wave of takeovers and consolidation in tech, telecom, and media.
>The merger was approved without any conditions, a stunning rebuke of the government’s case. Judge Leon even went so far as to urge the government not to seek a stay of his decision pending a possible appeal.

in the future there will be only one company for everything, and it will be owned by the state.
