- Just to keep the record straight, AT&T sold it to Soloman Brothers.
- Soloman Brothers had to dump in the market because their chief stock
- trader who made the deal got in trouble and needed to raise cash.
- This was reported extensively on The Wall Street Journal earlier
- this year, I believe in February. The bottome line is AT&T made money
- on their investment, but Soloman Brothers lost.
