Will the AT&T–Time Warner Merger Actually Harm Consumers?

Will the AT&T–Time Warner Merger Actually Harm Consumers?

AT&T (T) and Time Warner (TWX) are struggling through a long battle with US regulators to get approval for their merger deal, which they signed in October 2016. The trial to settle the matter began on March 19, 2018, and it will run for eight weeks as a result of the lawsuit filed by the US Department of Justice (or DOJ) to block the $85.4 billion deal. If AT&T loses the fight in court, it will have to pay a termination fee of $500 million to Time Warner.
