As the troubles pile up on AT&T Inc.’s DirecTV subsidiary, Wall Street bankers have been inundating the telecom giant with proposals to sell off the satellite TV operator with Charlie Ergen’s Dish Network as one potential suitor, the Fox Business Network has learned.

Go back to true U-verse tv at least more focused on what we do hopefully putting prem back in prem and saving jobs
There is too much of a "I'm never wrong," idiocy baked into T for this to ever happen. People that think they are far more intelligent than they really are because their basis of comparison is relatively shallow. They also have been throughly sold an ideal and identify with the brand, through social conditioning, as an extension of who they are in ways not unsimilar to communties in North Korea under Kim Jong-il's rule.
This destroys collaboration, innovation and worst of all, rings of cowardice. How can one suggest to be in possesion of impeccable intelligence, yet be so blind to how impacted by cognitive dissonance they are?
These aren't condemnations (such as those continually heaped upon my brow) but rather "make it make sense" questions that implore the AI-Think trained leadership and religiously devote followers of all things T to have a godamned original thought for once that is "backed by the data" of compant rhetoric aka "weasle slinking b—s—." I mean, I know they can't but, its nice to imagine.
DBS is a declining business - AT&T (Stankey) made a extremely costly mistake with this acquisition. Not sure who will pay $$$ for a declining business. Let's be honest, DTV and DBS are not the future of television. They were a great business at one point, but like everything else in the technology world, new technologies impact older technologies; regardless of the AT&T acquisition (again a huge mistake), DTV would have been a declining business. AT&T mismanagement may have accelerated the decline.
Again, the AT&T leadership team should be fired and the millions of $ they have pocketed should be taken away from them, and some needs to go to jail!
Dish doesn’t want DTV
The one good employee benefit, can't beat it for $10. Will hate to see it go.
Directv only a failure because of its att purchase. It’s directv that needs to rid itself of att
We can only wish to be rid of this failure.
