[qi:018] With Reliance Communications buying Yipes for $300 million, and the markets abuzz with rumors about Vodafone buying Verizon (NOT!) for an ungodly sum, it seems telecom cross border M&A is back in fashion. Andy Abramson fresh from sacrificing his bachelor status in South of France is spreading some Bordeaux flavored rumors: AT&T may hook-up with Vodafone.
Try sneaking this one past the regulators, or a deal so big and so complex, that it could have you reaching for a glass of something stronger than just wine. But hey, I also said no-way Google is going to buy YouTube for $1.6 billion.
