Hmm... Now I'm thinking about an AT&T/IBM merger.

   AT&T    $245.603B   
    IBM    $127.575B   (includes Red Hat) 
   =================
   ATTIBM  $373.178B   ($373,178,000,000)

Comparison market values on 16 July 02019.

   Microsoft   $1.056T     ($1,056,000,000,000)
   Amazon.com  $995.22B    ($  995,220,000,000)

I'd be shocked if the federal government would 
let AT&T and IBM become one company, but...
