Who's the biggest shareholder of USL?  

Let's play multiple choice:

a)  AT&T
b)  American Telephone & Telegraph
c)  All of the above

See my point?  If USL is hurt, AT&T is hurt and vice versa.  I know
that USL was created to distance themselves away from AT&T, but it's
pretty obvious who has the vested interest in the outcome of this suit.
