From the LA Times:
A day after the Justice Department sued to block AT&T's $39 billion merger with T-Mobile,
an industry catfight raged on over whether the merger would add thousands of jobs
to the U.S. economy or subtract them.... "The merger may or may not have other benefits
that have to be weighed against its potential costs," writes David Neumark, the director
of the Center for Economics & Public Policy at UC Irvine and an author of the Sprint-commissioned
study.
