AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson is apparently still having trouble sleeping over the failed AT&T, T-Mobile deal, and now the Time Warner Inc, he is in Denial, attacked competition in general and pretty much guaranteed he would raise prices as a result, as he continues to complain about a lack of bandwidth in the United States without having added Time Warner content, but he is not mentioning his Failed spectrum attempt.
Further claims that since the blocked AT&T deal, data prices have gone up almost 30% and then took it another step by labeling the failed deal as responsible for throttling data customers due to necessary bandwidth caps.
We get it, AT&T wants to make money and like all companies, it’s what will keep them in business. However, I don’t know that publicly whining about competition, spectrum, and failed deals is the right way to make your case for a better product and markets, as we are yet to see the disruptor actually disrupting anything but the Air Waves
