NPR's Jim Zarroli reports that Wall Street gave AT&T a thumbs down on its plan to split into four separate companies. Shares of the long distance and cable TV giant fell as much as 13 percent. The restructuring of AT&T will create separate shares for AT&T's wireless, cable TV, consumer and business operations. The company has been under intense pressure from shareholders to do something about it's sagging stock value.
