According to Business Week some Telecom analysts are scratching their heads at SBC's bid to acquire AT&T for 16 billion, in a move touted to push SBC into the enterprise market catering to large corporations and government agencies. Here are some of the quotes - Telecom analyst Daniel Zito of investment company Legg Mason - "From SBC's perspective, it's not obvious to me why they would want to do this now. While big, the enterprise sector tends to generate below-average returns, because of thin margins and high capital costs,"

Telecom investor Michael Mahoney who runs a technology fund for investment company EGM Capital. "AT&T-SBC is a questionable deal at best," -- "I can understand what they're going after, but I think they're going to get a lot of things they don't want and...end up paying more than it's worth." Mahoney, believes AT&T is worth about half the $15 billion to $16 billion SBC may be poised to pay.
