Putting The AT&T/T-Mobile Breakup Into Perspective.

All that I have to say about the deal, is that the breakup is going to cost AT&T $4 BILLION dollars... Put another way, that destroys more than the entirety of book value that AT&T was able to produce in the past year.

If you are a shareholder of T, you lost a year of gains in book value. If you look at the earnings of the company, you have lost significantly more than that.

That said, you did get a decent dividend that makes this a bit less painful.

All that for one botched acquisition.

I wonder how long the CEO will last.
