People should be losing their fukking minds over this.

So that means AT&T is gonna own HBO, CNN, Time, and Warner Bros.

So 6 mega companies are gonna control 90% of the fukking media...and one of them, AT&T, is a communications giant.

Yeah, this is beyond fukked up. AT&T getting ready to rape the shyt out of cordcutters.

What can we do?

You can say, "We're gonna get together and blacklist AT&T!" but...

A lot of people have their iphones and mobiles connected to AT&T
A lot of people are gonna go spend loot seeing DC comic movies (Warner Bros.)
Even though it's shyt, CNN still holds weight when it comes to news.
And who's not gonna watch HBO series? You gonna blacklist Game of Thrones?

It's gotten to the point now where we the people are literally powerless when it comes to these companies. We're there to consume, and that's it.

This will be subject to regulatory approval by the DOJ and FCC. Which means the government will block this if AT&T plans to screw the consumer over.
