How AT&T Wined and Dined lawmakers to push T-Mobile merger

http://j.mp/ouvY44  (New York Post)

   "AT&T Inc. feted lawmakers at Washington restaurants offering $52
    steaks and a $15 "Lobbyist's Libation" made of gin and cucumber puree
    as the company sought US approval to buy T-Mobile USA Inc.  The
    parties, carrying $1,000 admission charges and aimed at replenishing
    congressional campaign coffers, came as the largest US phone company
    sought regulators' blessing for the $39 billion deal. On Wednesday,
    the Justice Department sued to block the transaction, saying it would
    harm competition."
