Comcast issues a more clear statement, saying they had brought AT&T flowers. The type of flowers were thought to be tulips, falling in with the funeral metephor.

Upon further inquiry, it seems AT&T has decided that they really just suck at being a large company and had to split once again, this time under their own influence, into several smaller companies.

If only certain other companies could make the same blundering mistakes to cause large debt requiring spinoffs....

Ma Bell gets broken up.

Baby Bells join into SBC.

Remaining AT&T collapses under it's own weight (and stupidity).

SBC swallows AT&T.
