“The two individuals said no decision has yet been made on how much to lean on AT&T, which is pushing back strongly against any initiative that would jeopardize operations in a nation where it has a whopping 44% market share. DirecTV Latin America declined to comment.”

University of Memphis accounting degree, and she is a technology guru?
For those that don't know she was removed and positioned to be the next CEO.
One LATAM stunt, then an assignment to the WarneeMedia group, and she will be ready!
Since ATO is going down like a sinking ship. That is why Arnoldi left
The question is - WHY? Why was she removed/swapped so quickly? VRIO is its Directv business in Latin America. Seems like an odd choice to put her there. They job swapped. So yes new head of ATO. Vrio is an AT&T company and she is a vvvvvery , very, very good friend of McE*

For those that don't remember. the Venezuela aquisition cost T $4 billion writte down from the get go, due to rigged financials at the time, in addition AT&T hasn’t made money in Venezuela for years, due to strict government controls that keeps the price of its DirecTV packages artificially low around 15 U.S. cents per month.

Nonetheless, as the cheapest form of entertainment in a nation ravaged by hyperinflation, its market share remains DirecTV’s largest in the world. Why are we there?
