Windstream CEO Eyes Gigabit Fixed Wireless, Sees Copper Becoming “Irrelevant”

TT and his Zombies are just figuring out NOW that copper is becoming irrelevant????

Most other telcos saw this 10 to 15 years ago, and invested heavily in fiber. Where they used to have a larger footprint of workers in Hudson OH from the legacy Alltel days - their competitors installed fiber in the ground over 10 years ago - WIN just started 'getting serious' in putting in fiber the last 5 years. The City of Hudson asked the broadband providers - including WIN - a few years ago if they could wire up the city with fiber. Hudson wasn't satisfied with the replies from the telcos, so they installed their own fiber all over the city - connecting businesses, and soon local residents.

Why couldn't the Zombies invest in fiber in similar cities like this? Plenty of wealthy subscribers could have signed up. It's probably for the best - Hudson will run their own city network - having local workers to work with the customers - not somebody in India telling them to turn on/off the dial-up modem.

So many blown opportunities these clowns caused by not investing in upgrading to fiber 10 years earlier - with them now playing catch-up, it is too little too late. The shareholders (whoever still has this penny stock) are more important than customers.

"Cutting local technicians means the fat lady is done warming up and is about to start the show."

Doing this will only increase the customers fleeing WIN to the cable companies. Sure, there are plenty receiving broadband speed increases in areas that the infrastructure is in decent shape - those areas that aren't will be like devoid of most customers.

Money spent acquiring those useless companies should have been used to upgrade the broadband speeds 10 years ago, maybe they wouldn't be in this dire financial position....

It’s over guys. Cutting local technicians means the fat lady is done warming up and is about to start the show.

If any of you are drinking the kool aid that they can pivot to become a growth company, then help your souls.

Notice I said soul, bc you’re clearly not competent enough to see what’s in front of your eyes.
