Teflon - this is great news. The $5 billion will end up making money for MSFT, any way you slice it, even as a pure investment in T shares.

my dad's been saying for a couple yrs that T will somehow
wind up on top of the internet since they are not going
to watch while upstarts take a closely related market.
he says also that to get the additional 40% of households on
computers then the inet, it will have to be done with the
tv--from the couch.

good to see that msft is along for the ride
