Can outsourcing to this degree really be functional in the long run?
It Cuts the cost temporarily, we all know that, but can outsourcing in these quantities really be functional in the long run? I really don’t see any way that it could be sustainable. Also, is there a possibility that a company like AT&T could want to... — read more

Funny how ATT lays claim to all these awards
That HBO has won but is essentially going to blow up HBO from what it was. I thought the purchase of existing Warner assets was a good one but only if it was left alone. ATT involvement ensures that future content development will have a stranglehold... — read more
