Death by a thousand cuts.

It all part of the business plan. AT&T can outlast all the others.
Blows my mind at the hundreds of thousands of folks that we apparently have no desire to serve with HSIA or cell service.
@uyn...To quote the great Reese Bobby while debunking the "If you ain't first your last" racing strategy with his son Ricky, "You can be 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th, h€ll you can even be 5th!"
Greed.
It’s like we bought dtv just sunset it and phase it out along with U-verse. Makes no sense.
Dtv was a waste of money. Should of been doing streaming simultaneously with U-verse. Ironic the fiber the builds that randy and the Johns were forced to do to get their new toy dtv are doing good and in demand. Boy who could of seen that coming. Doh!
We should have stuck to providing wireless and broadband services... leave the content wars to Netflix and the Cable TV companies
My advice for T is to keep the HBO + interface as dumb and simple as possible. No innovation, does not mean to over complicate it the way you did with directv now. Re-hire from IBM who ever worked on the uverse interface and have them work on HBO+
Well, no one expects T to overcome Netflix with "HBO PLUS" streaming service. Hmmm, Disney is coming out with their streaming service the same time as T.... So that means the absolute best T can gun for is 3rd plus ahead of HULU and Amazon Prime.... Most likely best outcome is T lands in 5th place... Kinda of a demoralizing goal.
