The merger would create a national SBC with AT&T branding and network strength, expanding SBC's reach into long distance and business services while signaling potential moves by Verizon and BellSouth to acquire MCI. Regulatory scrutiny could stretch into mid-2006 as rivals weigh national infrastructure and corporate client rosters.

P&G may have to sell Gillette brands to gain antitrust approval
Antitrust regulators likely will force Procter & Gamble to divest Gillette deodorant lines and possibly toothbrush products to secure approval for its 57 billion dollar Gillette takeover. Analysts say disposing Right Guard or Crest Oral-B related items could ease concerns over market dominance and affect whitening products.
