Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

According to Randall Stephenson AT&T does not need Roku, yet the company struggles are linked largely to its reduction in promotional activity around the product and significant price increases. AT&T's management has made it clear that it's focused on only the most profitable customers and expects to keep losing subscribers. Management believes subscriber losses for its overall pay-TV business peaked in Q3, but an additional price hike for AT&T TV Now last quarter could lead to faster declines for the over-the-top service.

Hilarious considering I just cancelled my uverse service and HBO (sending the box back today). Will not be one of your subscribers.

Didn't he ask wallstreet for 3 more years?, in 3 years streaming is going to be old technology.. keep chasing the carrot old buddy Randy

Let's see what gimmick they cook to inflate the content subscriptions, if it is borderline illegal and deceptive, you will find AT&T doing what they do best

Randall thinks he's a master magician, but no amount of Randall's magic is going to keep this house of cards from crashing down!

They could of done streaming while they uverse instead of buying other companies and could VI of spent the money being the best streaming company but that ship has sailed so you have what you have.

It’s kinda like the Pinocchio motivational speaker commercial. You have potential and you have potential. They’ll never ever make up the losses they have made by bad decisions all perpetrated by randy and friends, and many many people will suffer the consequences.

Would have been a good product 2,3 years ago, but its Johnny come lately , market is pretty saturated, and sure while so,e of their offerings are interesting, they're competing against a lot of exclusive original content, and people are getting subscription fatigue, so I think 30+ non subs would be a success, of course Wall st wants different numbers, but it won't happen, especially in an economic downturn.

Everyone knows the no one watches HBO anymore!

Like everything else they have done, they try to get the customer to believe they are buying a Ferrari when it is actually a repainted yugo...

My guess, HBO max will be a dud, to crowded of a field and HBO is not much of a draw

this site will crash with 10k users, T does not know what UAT IS, LOL

Lol can’t maintain a straight face and read that at the same time. Hope the eg group is ready and they planned the correct capacity lol can’t say that with a straight face. I bet cso will have all their i’s dotted and t’s crossed lol

At $15/month times 100 million subs, that’s a cool $1.5 billion/month

That’s awesome!! Buy AT&T stock now. Huge potential upside

Just imagine if they can grow the subs to 300 million? Even better. Or maybe 7.5 billion subs, the worldwide population. Every human being on earth with a smartphone in their hand streaming HBO!!

The dividend is unsustainable.

sooo funny, 100 Million? delusional executive team
