D.C. Circuit Rejects DOJ's Lawsuit Regarding AT&T-Time Warner

Today, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit rejected the Department of Justice's bid to overturn a ruling that allowed AT&T to acquire Time Warner. (See the opinion here.) Theodore Bolema, a member of FSF's Board of Academic Advisors, and other FSF scholars have followed the merger and the subsequent lawsuit by the Department of Justice very closely.
