Surplus for SE core
Not giving out names of course but coming from a level 4 I have spoken to directly; there is definitely a substantial cut coming to D3 core techs. St and Ft titles. I’m just passing that tidbit along.
It just seems as if board is complacent and incompetent
And has no problem steering into giant icebergs. Replace Randall with Stankey who was primary player behind TMobile Disaster, DTV Disaster, Time Warner not off to good start, and k–ling off what people loved with HBO. Pfefler has to be laughing his... — read more

Lack of Communication & uncertainty

"Too much of anything is bad, but too much Champagne is just right."
Like a skyrocket, HBO MAX will launch with a Flair then sputter and slowly die. Just like all of the other AT&T streaming offerings. Too high of a cost for the content and a terrible platform with constant problems.

A look at AT&T's brilliant leadership strategy ...
So, the deathstar thinks AT&T TV will save it, and so they're making it their lead product in a bundle with their fiber, leaving DIRECTV as a distant option for rural folks. Sounds like it makes sense, right? High speed fiber internet means... — read more

JVB the product of ATT Leadership Pushes
