DIRECTV

CEOs for AT&T and DirecTV made their case to antitrust policymakers on Capitol Hill Tuesday.

The House of Representatives Judiciary Committee will hold its hearing on the same day to discuss plans by AT&T, the No. 2 U.S. cellular operator, to buy the largest U.S. satellite TV provider for $48.5 billion.

To avoid regulatory conflict, AT&T has to sell its stake in América Móvil, which amounts to about $6 billion, or 8.4 percent of its shares.

News that AT&T will merge with DirecTV has rekindled speculation that Dish Network will forge an alliance with Sprint or T-Mobile.

The largest telecom in the U.S. has already shed about 22 percent of its workforce since 2007.

If the deal is approved, AT&T will move "very fast" to bundle DirecTV channels, wireless service and broadband connections.

CEO Randall Stephenson says it will not affect long-time personal relationship with América Móvil's owner, billionaire Carlos Slim.
