The AOL Time Warner merger was a legendary failure of the late 'dot com' era. Katherine points to several reasons the deal failed to live up to expectations. In regards to the regulatory hurdles AT&amp;T-Mobile would have to leap in order to get their merger approved, she discusses Herfindahl-Hischman Indices and Four Firm Concentration Ratios and their impact on regulatory decisions. It was an academically rigorous treatment of the topic and overall a pleasant read.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"47754570","dateCreated":"1323279242","smartDate":"Dec 7, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"aeroederer","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/aeroederer","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/pic\/1318295145\/aeroederer-lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/mbaeconfall2011.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/47754570"},"dateDigested":1532762648,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Great Job!","description":"Your article is very informative and equal parts Time Warner and real world scenario.
