If its the good guys doing this … Q's guys … I like the idea that they brought this down in order to splice in a corrective measure. A cyber recovery effort or rescue splice. It would trusted technical teams to rescue communications from a massive hijack.
It's sort of like a remote controller installed in a plane, that could take over a hijacked plane and land it safely by the good guys.
It's just interesting timing, where the merger of Att & TimeWarner. But what happened Comcast was hoping to grab FOX but thats not what happened. What happened was Disney grabbed FOX. Which left Comcast the most indebted telecommunications company in the US. They are not able to divest their debt at this point.
As we know now 3 days ago Disney won on the merger.
