As it became clear in November that the Department of Justice was heading for a legal  showdown with AT&T over its Time Warner merger, the telecom giant offered a proposal that it said would address the government’s concerns about competition.

But thus far, only two percent of AT&T's rivals have expressed support for that plan, according to lawyers for both sides. The revelation came as AT&T and the Department of Justice faced off in court Tuesday, the second day of a trial whose consequences will reverberate across the economy.
