Public interest groups have waged a spirited campaign to prevent a corporate takeover of the Internet.
AT&T spared no expense in 2011 when it sought government approval
of its $39 billion deal to acquire T-Mobile. The merger would have
created a duopoly, leaving AT&T and Verizon in control of nearly 80
percent of the wireless market.
AT&T would then have been able to set higher prices, at a cost to
people on modest incomes who depend on their cell phones to connect with
work, family, and the details of modern life.
