Yikes,
There is no doubt you are right. The only plausible rejoinder concerns
the brand name (mentioned by Sam). However there is a very good reply.
AMERICA on line has limited appeal in a worldwide market. With
all that in cash, I would rather build the brand name of ATT Worldnet
which does not suffer from this limitation.

Also keep in mind that any such deal would have to be a stock swap.
There is no way that ATT could get its hand on 25 or 30 Billion
dollars.

On second thought in this crazy market where AMZN could float
their "senior debt" at 10% and get away with it, anything is possible.

See Ya,
Joe
