NEWS Michael Armstrong, chairman of AT&T, has given his opinion on the offer of $40bn for his company's cable division.
He promised to look seriously at the offer but suggested the price was too low.
Armstrong said: "Comcast's offer is serious. And we are giving it serious consideration. The question is whether it recognises the right value."
Sources quoted by the FT say AT&T believes the broadband division is worth closer to $70bn.
AT&T board meets next Wednesday to discuss the proposed takeover.
