Today, AT&T is a large wireless company and satellite TV distributor. But what it does not have is content programming and entertainment. And that`s why it wants Time Warner, which includes CNN, HBO, Warner Brothers, TNT and TBS.

The merger would be one of the biggest media deals in history, but the U.S. government is trying to block it and one big question is, will the merger break U.S. antitrust laws, which are designed to keep American companies from having too much control over the market.

这项合并将是史上最大的媒体交易之一，但美国政府正试图阻止它，一个大问题是，合并是否会违反美国的反托拉斯法，该法律旨在阻止美国公司对市场拥有过多的控制权。
