AT&T no longer has a “product” to sell. They’re not supporting their dial tone business, just as well since that business is slowly dying. However, they are ignoring their wireless side, losing customers at a frightening pace. Thay are outsourcing their cloud operations, they have cut their technical folks to the point that long haul circuits are suffering, affecting the Verizon’s, Southwest Airlines, etc. There will come a time when those major companies will go with someone else that will support them. Admittedly, right now their choices are limited, but Google is laying fiber all over the country, and there will always be microwave. The only thing T seems to be offering is big data. Not sure that alone will keep the stockholders interested in the long haul. I honestly think that T’s obsession with trying to out Google Google will be their ultimate downfall.
Agreed completely, @PHOTuvA-uhn. Don't expect things to change, either.
