AT&T and T-Mobile merger madness recap (FAQ)

[Joseph Singer]

AT&T's chances of completing its $39 billion acquisition of T-Mobile USA are quickly fading as regulatory opposition to the deal mounts and the wireless giant's efforts to keep the deal on track smell of desperation.

The merger, announced in March, has been in trouble since this summer when the U.S. Department of Justice sued AT&T to block the deal. But things got uglier last week when the Federal Communications Commission said it would try to block the deal. Even though AT&T has vowed to fight on, it looks like the company is preparing for the worst.

In case you were in a turkey-induced coma over the long weekend, we offer this FAQ to get you up to speed on what happened and what it all means.
