AT&T CEO, Skype Innovation Claims

AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson testified before Congress that the Microsoft-Skype merger and the AT&T-T-Mobile merger would drive innovation in "wireless operating systems." The hosts debunk these claims, explaining that Skype's primary innovation is a closed-loop Wi-Fi connection system rather than a mobile OS. They argue that the mergers are monopolistic moves intended to stifle smaller competitors.
