AT&T ends merger attempt with T-Mobile

http://j.mp/uCxrTh  (AP / NPR)

    DALLAS (AP) - AT&T says it has agreed with Deutsche Telekom to
    ends its bid to buy T-Mobile USA after facing fierce government
    objections.  The cellphone giant said Monday that the actions of
    the government to block the merger do not change the challenges of
    the wireless phone industry, which it says requires more spectrum
    to expand.
