I lived in Lousiana for two years. I had three options. AT&T U-Verse, Cox Cable, or Direct TV. Cox was expensive as hell. U-Verse was reasonable. Now what do you think happens to their pricing when one of the options goes away? You think AT&T is going to lower U-Verses pricing now that they've gobbled up a competitor.
Well, now my family's going to cancel DirecTV due to inevitable price increases. Hopefully my dad can find a cheaper alternative to watch sports, because I'm personally satisfied with Netflix.
What an astronomical figure.
Even beats the $45.2 billion Time Warner acquisition.
$45.2 billion, who has that kind of money. No wonder Att pays people $9/hour to work for them.
The only way this'll effect my family (who i no longer live with anyway) is that their package deal between DirecTV and their Verizon home phone/DSL will probably go bye-bye (or not, given regional monopolies, its not like my parents could choose AT&T for home phone or DSL ever).
The only loss of competition is in areas lucky enough to be wired for AT&T's fiber-optics network, Uverse, since Uverse TV could compete with DirecTV. Anywhere not wired for Uverse is basically not effected competitively.

DirecTV is the number one single "cable" provider in the country, between the majors of AT&T, Verizon, DirecTV, Dish, Comcast, Cox, and Time Warner.

True, although a large portion of the southeastern states have U-Verse availabilty, so it's gonna hit us (I live in Florida) pretty hard.

Cable has become less of a necessity thanks to the interweb. That will help keep prices competitive.
