Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

It seemed like over time many of our products we offered had become commodities...like gas at a gas station...where there isn't much to differentiate our product from someone else's. When that happens people tend to focus mostly on price. Case in point, I'm paying less for an unlimited wireless plan for BOTH me and my wife than I was paying for JUST ME with AT&T with my discount. But now it seems like that isn't even the case any more. I went from DISH (when we had discount) to UVerse (when it became available in my area) to DirecTV (after we bought them and had discount). The products were close to the same. But then cut the cord and went with DirecTV Now with AT&T Internet to save a little. But looked around and made some changes. Went with cheaper and robust streaming bundles than DirecTV NOW offered. Paid $10 less a month for 400 Mbs internet with someone else rather than continue the 24 Mbs on copper I had with AT&T. What's the common thread here? Overpriced services in a competitive environment. That's a great way to maintain and grow a business said no one ever.

I bet we would see some c-ap if the government let anyone compete in that market. Some big shot would start to build the infrastructure to the big industrial water users, cut prices to them, etc. Probably see a replication of the Wild West we have seen for the past decade.

No way the regulators would let the water company pull the c-ap att had in the last 10 years.

The good old days. Back when customers had a choice. T or T.

Water company analogy does not work. I don’t have a choice of water companies at my house. I don’t use t wireless. Try again.
