Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

I doubt portions of the people around Dallas can read so internet seems kind of pie in the sky.

The “poor” don’t have home internet because they use their 800 dollar cell phones to surf. I could probably give into the stupid idea of inequality in internet service if they chose a small town in BFE as their example. The vast majority of EVERYBODY has LTE coverage in the Dallas metro.

The customers don’t want to pay for home internet when they already have it on their phone.

Ask a wireline tech (who depends on home phone and internet service to provide them a job) and most will tell you they don’t have home service, but you can bet they all have cell phones.

Access to broadband in the governments eyes isn’t not about landline services. It’s about access to communication and information. Which the customers receive if they have a cell phone.

Huh, poor people can’t afford internet... who knew...?? They also can’t afford a lot of other things.... if the city/state wants to make this a priority, then raise taxes to pay for it....

Or better yet cities can provide their own wifi service to their residents far better and far cheaper. AT&T adds very little of value to our nation that couldn't be provided better and far cheaper to the consumer.

At this point the AT&T corporation is nothing but a ripoff and a scam designed to funnel wealth into the accounts of its executives at the expense of society. Rat's retirement package being a perfect example.

your doing the citizens a favor not exposing them to att service and billing - good job.

Coming people who is talking fiber, AT&THE WOULD NOT EVEN COMMIT TO DLDSL LIGHT 768Kbps

Yes let’s give everyone free fiber internet because they made bad financial choices in their life.

Watched the video, this external affairs guys sounds like POTUS, it isn't our fault if people don't know; it isn't our fault if people don't use, it isn't our fault if people don't adapt. They have more fiber coverage but lack internet access. How are you not fired? Do your job! Wear a sandwich board, walk the neighborhood and give away free service to the low income.

Someone should send that news station the clip from the town hall where Stank claims to be woke. But then again they way he used, like most things, he does not have a clue about what it means.

Story in question...
