Greed?
Shareholders expect companies to be as profitable as legally possible.
Your 401K or IRA most likely has some AT&T shares... as stock or part of some mutual fund.
Their "greed" => your retirement. |

But for AT&T to be against this sort of merger... well that's just the pot calling the kettle black.

Really, your message is better targetted by lobbyists to their congress critters.
