In a special edition of Zacks Friday Finish Line, Content Writer Ryan McQueeney and Editor Maddy Johnson are joined by Ed Mullane, the technology, media, and telecommunications sector editor for Mergermarket.

Ed gave insight into the deal’s pros and cons for the business players as well as consumers. He also talked about the broader M&A landscape within the telecommunications industry this year, indicating that the AT&T-Time Warner deal is the latest in a burgeoning trend.
