AT&T Inc. plans to cut up to 10,000 jobs, mostly through attrition, if its $67 billion purchase of BellSouth Corp. goes through, AT&T's chief financial officer said Monday. The work force reduction would take place over three years. The 10,000 planned cuts are in addition to the 26,000 job cuts AT&T has already announced.
