I decided not to buy AT&T because they have recently decided to to buy T-Mobile which is a privately owned company. At&t's decision to buy the company has stirred alot of controversy and alot of people fear that they are attempting to create an oligopoly. At the moment At&t must pass the antitrust regulations. The probability of At&t "obtaining clearence from the FCC and the Justice Department are limited, "(Davidoff, Steven M.) due to the fact that the government might look at national rather than a local level of companies that compete with At&t. With the stock value of $29 per share at the middle of its 52 week high buying At&t stock is very risky because if the government doesn't pass the clearence than the stock of the value will drop heavily.
