If they think it'll be approved now because of the switch to cash (from stock), then that seems to suggest the advertised reason (government blocking it) was not really a real reason. Unless they thought the gov. would block it because it was stock and not cash?

They could have more confidence now since the AT&T merger with Time Warner.

True, since there's an overall government trend towards anti anti-trust.
