The whole 2020 things is just some salesman pitch its nothing tangible. These old crusty companies assume the world will be in stasis while they figure out what to do next.
It's a shame they fight and gnaw at anyone that threatens their business yet don't do anything to upgrade their own. AT&T had the talent and infrastructure to build upon and upgrade but too scared to do so fearing what happened to Verizon not realizing that were Verizon went wrong by being to aggressive to soon AT&T showed up to emulated them at the perfect time when fiber was finally ripe to be laid to homes, see google fiber.
I mean you have google wanting to connect the world and instead of taking the hint and cutting them off with your own fiber you resort to antiquated court tactics reserved for the old days of telephone an indication of just how out of touch the leadership at AT&T is. It's not too late by the way google is retreating and the infrastructure is still there and maybe even some of the talent is still around but its not going to happen under Randall no sir he knows what 2020 holds.
