US government probably won't stop the AT&T–DirecTV merger, report says
AT&T’s acquisition of DirecTV is likely to receive approval from regulators, creating the largest pay TV company in the US, according to The Wall Street Journal. Both the Justice Department and the FCC are said to be moving toward approval, having found no major issues with the merger. While it doesn’t appear that the deal will be blocked, regulators reportedly may choose to put conditions on it, potentially preventing the combined company from abusing its power in the emerging online TV space. The Journal reports that the conditions being considered are viewed as acceptable to AT&T. An official decision may not arrive for several more weeks.
