This is going to be interesting. It’s not like we didn't have enough bad publicity already, but we have to invent new ways of drawing negative public attention. In light of the DOJ’s appeal on the antitrust charges, it is logical that the DOJ will... — read more

Are all we are working for now. We try to squeeze in as much customer service as the metrics allow. This regime will not be happy until we spend 100% of our time accounting for our time.

AT&T still vague on 5G service pricing, OK, so maybe the hype is getting ahead of the reality. The 5G standards for ultra-low latency are still being hammered out and that technology likely won't arrive until 2020, this does not stop AT&T to sell the... — read more
