Judge Richard Leon, who will oversee the Justice Department's lawsuit to block AT&T's bid for Time Warner, set the initial status conference of the case for December 7.
The latest: Yesterday, AT&T offered regulators a concession to try to get approval for its $85 billion deal. AT&T agreed to seven years of binding arbitration with distributors, hoping to address concerns that it would increase prices on rival distributors for content produced by Time Warner subsidiary Turner.
