from Financial Survival Network

TheStreet.com’s Chris Ciaccia talks about how the proposed $49 billion big merger between AT&T and DirecTV is not about subscribers, free cash flow, dividend coverage or any other story you may read this morning.

Chris Ciaccia joined TheStreet as a technology reporter in November 2011. Prior to TheStreet, Chris covered markets for Benzinga.com and also worked as an analyst at GMAC and at Laurus Capital Management. Chris has a bachelor’s degree in finance from Seton Hall University.
