I don't know...I'm just asking:
aren't they $26B in debt as a RESULT of the merger?

If they were $26 billion in debt, would they even have been able to get any
financing for this deal? Would a bank be nuts enough to let them leverage
that much? I'm no financial whiz, but I would doubt it. Besides, how
expensive can the purchase of AT&T Broadband be?
