AT&T;/BellSouth merger's impact on satellite

If the AT&T and BellSouth's merger is successful, satellite providers may be affected a great deal. You might not know this, but DISH Network services are offered by AT&T while BellSouth offers bundles that include DIRECTV. With the merger, who knows which of the rival satellite companies, if either, will be included in deals from the new AT&T. This and several other matters will have to be settled for the AT&T/BellSouth merger to occur smoothly.
