Last night SBC and AT&T announced that they've merged. The new company will be called AT&T. I kind of liked SBC as a name, but AT&T has a better reputation nationally and globally.
I wonder how this will all play out though. I've been a subscriber to SBC Yahoo! DSL for over a year now. We also have SBC phone service. SBC owns Cingular too.
I think they'll keep the Cingular name for their wireless venture. It's more likely the others that will change. I suppose "AT&T Yahoo! DSL" doesn't sound too bad.
There's no better time of year to get people used to writing something new on their checks when they pay their bills. While we're learning to write 2006 (Happy New Year by the way..) we can also learn to change SBC to ATT.
I knew this merger would happen eventually. Despite the SBC name being dropped it is still a merger. The way I understand it SBC bought AT&T and chose to adopt the AT&T name because of it's popularity.
So here's to 2006, mega-money mergers, and the rebirth of Ma Bell. Cheers!
