Subtle AT&T, subtle
Filed under: Business — nobrainer @ 7:39 am

I don’t know about y’all, but the DC television market is being bombarded with ads from AT&T touting the potential benefits of its merger with T-Mobile. “An Engine for Job Creation” they say. “This will create an estimated 55,000 – 96,000 new jobs from AT&T’s additional infrastructure investment, according to an analysis from the Economic Policy Institute (EPI),” they say. It’s funny, because that’s not quite what the EPI says. EPI “projects that AT&T’s proposed purchase of T-Mobile could plausibly create an additional 55,000 to 96,000 job-years of work.” Perhaps I’m being picky, but I think there’s a notable difference between what AT&T says the EPI said and what the EPI said.
