Consumer Groups Protest AT&T-DirecTV Merger
- The Los Angeles Times, Thursday, July 23, 2015 4:10 PM
Consumer groups opposed to AT&T's acquisition of DirecTV say that the deal won't reduce prices or encourage competition. "AT&T could take the money that they are using to wipe out a competitor and invest that to expand their own broadband network," said Matt Wood, policy director for the consumer group Free Press. "They didn't need a merger for that."
