Bill Hardekopf Good Quotations

We don't think this is a good thing for consumers. The telecom industry has exploded, in terms of growth and options, and now AT&T will be even bigger and more powerful than it was.

This is definitely not good for competition. A number of consumer groups including Consumer's Union and the Consumer Federation of America plan to ask the Justice Department to reject the merger and we tend to agree with them. We are watching AT&T be reconstructed again right in front of our eyes. If the FCC is going to allow this to happen you have to ask why they broke them up in the first place.

The card does have some good attributes, but consumers need to be cautious and know what they're getting into. They really need to dive into the terms and conditions.
