Craig, I'm still trying to assimilate it. Right now it's just another one of those Internet star bursts, like one of so many crack snapple pops out there taking place all at once. Assuming these are all ingredients in the same stew, anyway, if or when the TCI deal is consummated, which of the following drivers served as the main motivation behind T's stated intentions here? (1) to leverage sentiment behind the Internuts (which some are now likening to a potential gaseous aneurism... what would the backlash be w.r.t. T's stock price in this case); or (2) to serve as a means of consolidating and growing the whole more efficiently.
