AT&T Near $2.5 Billion Buy Alltel ExxonMobil in Cahoots with AT&T ? Monopoly Gone Wild


AT&T is reportedly near a deal to buy most of Verizon's Alltel divestitures for $2.5 billion, CNBC has learned from sources close to the situation.
The assets are divided into 24 geographical clusters, 18 of which will be purchased by AT&T Verizon

Former AT&T chief Whitacre joins Exxon Mobil board

Edward Whitacre, who was chairman and CEO of AT&T until retiring last June, has joined the Exxon Mobil board of directors. For some conspiracy theorists, it will only confirm that Big Oil and Big Telecom were in cahoots all along (yes, we're kidding). Perhaps, Whitacre's experience leading SBC Communications and later AT&T for 17 years can be valuable to Exxon Mobil as the company deals with the aftermath of a shareholder fight led by the Rockefeller family. Old-school telecom types know a thing or two about how to keep shareholders fat and happy.

Edward Whitacre, was chairman and CEO of AT&T, joined Exxon Mobil, Whitacre's experience leading SBC Communications. SBC Bought out AT&T and then kept the AT&T Name. Have you been wondering what a Oil Co do after making Billions from gas, it buys up telecommunication companies. They will be to big to fail, like the banking business imbedded in government to change the rules when needed.

Are grandchildren will never know what the world was like, Before Bush Co. B.B.C.

10,000 Companies very close to Bush and the last bunch of thief’s.

Fortune 500, 2 Exxon Mobil (Irving) 10 AT&T (Dallas)

1. Still looking for a few great members of congress that will put a halt to the new world order.
The current crop of spineless, balless, gutless, do nothing congressional jellyfish couldn't be more in cahoots with criminal monopolistic corporate america if they tried. Meanwhile its business as usual down on corrupt wall street and in washington dc. The millions that lost their jobs will soon be forgotten by manipulated statistics and corporate propaganda.
