"one that would focus on its wholesale satellite transmission service."
"AT&T aims to combine TV, phone, and internet service on a single fiber optic network."

Did I miss something here? Why would AT&T be interested in buying a "satellite tv" company when it's concerned about bringing tv, phone, and internet via fiber optic network?
