Hmmm... wouldn't it qualify as a nested pun, or at least a double reference?

After all, it's the AT&T because the AT&T symbol looks like the Death Star; in fact, the Jargon File notes that the AT&T symbol is thusly referred to as the Death Star.

(Though I'm sure this also applies to AT&T's pre-breakup business practices.)
