re: timing of AT&T recovery: Never. Sorry. Some investments just don't work out. AT&T developed its corporate culture in an environment of heavy regulation, guaranteed markets, and guaranteed profits. It has been unable to change that culture. I see WCOM, and smaller newer telecom companies (not the baby bells) continuing to take market share, in both the old voice, and the new data/internet/cable/wireless/international markets. AT&T has thrown tens of billions into various ventures, in an unsuccessful search for growth. The latest earnings report (and warning) is just a continuation of that pattern. There will be more of the same, in future quarters. Microsoft's corporate culture is so different, mixing them would be like mixing oil and water. A merger wouldn't work, and I assume that's obvious to both managements.
