In the wake of such foolery asthe Comcast - Time Warner mergerandthe FCC ’s nominate net neutrality rules that threaten to destroy the internet , AT&T and DirecTV are trying to be the honorable cat . AT&T , which announce its acquisition of DirecTV today , willfollow the onetime , good nett neutrality rules for three years .
The two plan to come together the $ 50 billion bargain sometime within the next 12 month , after which the three year clock starts . It ’s not forever , and it ’s not as good as new nett neutrality rules that actually protect net disinterest , but it ’s something ; something that will make yet another giant attainment just a liiiiiittle more toothsome .
That is , if they ’re not just lie . [ Ars Technica ]
