Billionaire tech pioneer Steve Case urged AT&T on Wednesday to learn from AOL's failed merger with Time Warner, which unraveled less than a decade after it was announced in 2000.

Case, co-founder of AOL, appeared on CNBC's "Squawk Box," a day after a federal judge cleared the way for AT&T's $85.4 billion bid to buy Time Warner. The decision is expected to prompt more consolidation in media, and perhaps spark a bidding war between Comcast and Disney for assets being sold by Twenty-First Century Fox.
