AT&T and Time Warner plot a blockbuster media future

A DEAL worth $85.4bn is by any standards a blockbuster. The agreement by wireless and pay-television giant AT&T to buy Time Warner, owner of Warner Bros, HBO and a trove of hit films and TV shows, is the biggest bet yet that the future of media will be dictated by massive companies that best marry distribution with content.

The merger, announced by the two companies in the evening on October 22nd, does not ensure that AT&T, a traditional telecommunications company, will end up as one of those winners. But Randall Stephenson, who as AT&T’s chief executive will steer the combined company, is assembling the pieces he believes he needs to get there.

AT&T just last year completed the $48.5bn purchase of DirecTV, a satellite provider, making the company the largest pay-TV distributor in America with 25m subscribers. AT&T is also the country’s second-largest wireless carrier, behind Verizon Communications. The company now is set to add one of Hollywood’s most storied studios in the form of Warner Bros, a prestigious cable network in HBO, valuable cable channels like TNT, TBS and CNN, and a rich library of film and…Continue reading

An American airline wins the right to weigh passengers on its Samoan route

ONE of Gulliver’s stranger flying experiences came in 2011, when he was preparing to board a domestic flight from Panama City to the beaches of Bocas del Toro. An airline employee motioned to a scale, and Gulliver dutifully placed his bag on it. “No,” she said, and in a conversation combining her broken English with his broken Spanish, communicated that, in fact, he himself was the item she wanted to weigh. The plane, it turned out, had only about six seats, and it was crucial to achieve a weight balance.

Now an American airline is in trouble for a similar practice on a, well, much larger scale.

The problem for Hawaiian Airlines began when the carrier discovered it was burning through more fuel than anticipated on its route between Honolulu and the small Pacific island territory of American Samoa, according to reporting by the Associated Press. The airline ruled out explanations like strong winds and decided to conduct a voluntary survey among its passengers on the route. The results were clear:…Continue reading
