this merger would effect the everyday consumer and how much they pay to watch their television and watch their shows, watch the news, watch sports and he said that by 2021, u.s. consumers would be paying something like $571 million more in just that year for cable because of this merger. he's done a lot of modeling and economic analysis and this guy's a very well respected professor from uc berkeley. he worked under the obama administration both in the white house and in the justice department as an economist. so he clearly knows his stuff and what at&t then tried to do on cross-examination was poke holes in some of his modeling and ask him things like, why aren't you using real world data, we have testimony from witnesses who said that certain things wouldn't effect their negotiation but your model said it does. it was very intense and long and a lot of math flying around and even the judge he said, i'm going to have to reread all of this testimony before i make my decision.
