At & T Merger Essay

In a normal competitive market, when a company decides to merge with another competitive market, it’s usually a sign of attempting to get ahead from the rest of the market. In this current year, two well-known company providers, AT&T and Time Warner Merged together, AT&T accomplished this mission with a sum of $85.4 billion.

As a quick result to eliminate this company, none come to mind. I don’t think this company will ever be taken down by another
