Gardere Partner Peter Vogel Comments on Potential for AT&T, T-Mobile Deal
November 28, 2011
E-Commerce Times recently spoke to Gardere Partner Peter S. Vogel, chair of the Firm's Internet, eCommerce and Technology Team, about the antitrust issues surrounding the merger talks between AT&T and T-Mobile.

Under these circumstances, the FCC "really can't complain about antitrust monopoly control by AT&T."
