Remember Kodak and Blockbuster? They had visionary leaders also famously resisted transformation to protect legacy film and video profits. AT&T’s strategic missteps in media and debt reduced its influence without ending its existence in a gasp to hang on to wireless and fiber until a final blow. Today, traditional telecom legacy models face aggressive disruption as SpaceX pushes into cellular service with direct-to-cell Starlink satellite connectivity. It is not a matter of IF but when it happens. Stankey is too stubborn to see and believe people will continue to stick to brand loyalty of AT&T.

@ef loyalty is dead — per the CEO

@ef 👅🍑
Fire these ungrateful people & send more jobs to India. We will work for the company & our customers with gratitude & loyalty. Look at these fools. They are gleefully rooting for the failure of the entity that feeds them. How pathetic!! Once they lose this job, no one else is going to hire them. Not even fast food joints.
@c9 give it a few years and Att will be obsolete. Spacex is on the come up and Att doesn’t like it
Stank lined his own pockets and created generational wealth for his family. It doesn't care about anything else. It's all grift, behave accordingly. It's a big club, and you ain't in it .
SpaceX does not have a cellular network. Satellites are not competitive with the local ground network because of the distance. It will work just not good like you have it now. Great product if it’s all you got and I hear it works well for home internet but double the price.
@bw 10 years, and I’ll be leaving in 1Q next year because of the RTO bullsh-t and the terrible leadership. I’m excited to watch the titanic sink, with you on it, from my life boat.
“At least he has brand loyalty, certainly not employee loyalty.”
How many years have you worked at AT&T?
X will take a large chunk at a lower price and force the big 3 to lower what they charge to hang on. Also with SpaceX community allowing anyone share their hardware with others so calls will not be dropped when someone walks into a building was not addressed, that’s a big plus for SpaceX. (Basically turning each dish/router into micro cells for SpaceX). I know where I’m investing.
Should I apply at Starlink before the demise?
@OP - give it a rest.
People laugh at the T stock price!
Sadly, it’s going no where but down.

I agree that fiber is the best option. However, people want mobility in their connection at a cheap price. If i have to buy fiber and wireless service to get the same service level as starlink, then att loses.
This guy keeps beating a dead horse.
