Does anyone know if either the DOJ or the FTC have approved this?

ed: FCC approval is probably kind of important too...

Consider how much the large telecoms in the US fund our politicians. I'm sure this will go through without a hitch. Sadly :(

Yes, just as in any other mega-merger all the various regulatory agencies will have their take at it. AT&T will likely end up making large concessions to get this pushed through.
