(The Justice Department said last week that it will appeal the decision.) Meanwhile, the Clinton Administration's policy toward megamergers remains uncertain. James Quello, the Bush-appointed acting chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, greeted the proposed consolidation as ''the most momentous deal of the decade.''
