The following statement should be attributed to David McAtee, AT&T General
Counsel:

“We are pleased that, after conducting a full and fair trial on the merits, the
Court has categorically rejected the government’s lawsuit to block our merger with
Time Warner.  We thank the Court for its thorough and timely examination of the
evidence, and we compliment our colleagues at the Department of Justice on their
dedicated representation of the government.  We look forward to closing the merger
on or before June 20 so we can begin to give consumers video entertainment that is
more affordable, mobile, and innovative.”
