Why are we downvoting Pink Floyd?????
@hs No offense taken, I know. It just proved the point I was making - That fiber should have been laid with the FIRST construction project. Not cause a second capital build-out a few years later because they didn't want to do it right the first time. I was part of that big fiber build for "All IP by 2020" (haha), until Mr. S. stopped it all.
If you really wanted to "deliver the future first" maybe you should build the infrastructure for it? Or was it the "self-perpetuating fly wheel" strategy?
Groundbreaking.
I hate to be contrary, and by no means am I defending Stankey…but copper T1 backhaul from cell sites to MTSOs was phased out many many years ago.
@aj... Not the engineers' fault. As early as 15-20 years ago during the big fiber build-out, everyone told the C-suite that we need to put fiber to the cell towers.
What did they say and do, especially "Chief Strategy Officer" of the time Stankey?
"Noone will ever need that capacity. One copper T1 are enough".
Engineers: "Can we at least lay fiber along with copper, just don't terminate it yet, so we don't have to build out twice?"
No.
Another fine quality decision from our visionary leader.
@cq
Did they get you to trade
your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk-on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
@aj We have no engineers. ATT traded discovery for diversity. Labs is dead, what do you expect was gonna happen?
@aj
800 Mhz band isnt going to speed anything up
Good. Maybe we'll improve all the cell site backhauls now. It's ridiculous my data connection slows to dial-up speeds during commute hours. R-ta-d engineers.
