The units that have the potential to be affected again

In the Communications segment the weak group would be the Entertainment Group defined as Entertainment Group provides video, including over-the-top (OTT) services, broadband and voice communications services primarily to residential customers. This segment also sells advertising on DIRECTV and U-verse distribution platforms.

That doesn't include wireless. The other two groups is Mobility and Business Wireline and they're in better shape than Entertainment Group.

And then they have the Warner Media segment, consisting of Turner, Warner Brothers and HBO. That one looks OK.

And then they have Latin America segment consisting of Vrio and Mexico (Mexican wireless). I haven't paid attention to them because they're just not big enough.

The contribution to income from Entertainment Group is trailing way behind the other groups in the Communications segment, considering the revenues received. (Retail Consumer Switched Access Lines is down 17% year over year.)

This data is filed with the Securities and Exchange commission on a 10-Q or 10K.

There should be a new 10-Q out shortly.

you'd think someone would finally recognize that the real issue is at the top levels of management, not with lower levels. replace Randy and the VP's just below the surface!

Well if you watched the fireside chat there was quite a bit of talk about how our techs need to educate the customer on how they access Netflix after we’re done installing service whatever that may be. Now this was communicated during their fireside chat where they also stated minimum 8% cuts after the previous sh1+ show with Juan and Keith where they said what a terrific job everyone has done this past year. Tax credits, tax cuts, billions wasted on Tmobile, 50% loss on DTV purchase, what else can Randy and the boys do? The downfall is going to be the debtload. You can only cut so much. You can only count on a reliable name for so long after you run it into the abyss. Customers don’t associate AT&T as a good, reliable company any longer. WTF are we doing? Oh yeah 5gE, ok Randall that cool aid must be some leftovers from Enron’s supply.....

"That doesn't include wireless."

Well guess what I got a text from a Principal (High 2nd level) Wireless engineer this morning. His group lost 4 of 10. Great plan with 5G rollout......................

The coach has lost the locker room, it’s over.

But wait, were gonna do streaming!

Oh course, it might help to settle on a name.

So far we've had Directv Everywhere. Directv Now, AT&T Watch Now, soon to roll out Warner Media Go. We've also tried to steal the name "Verge" from the Tech site called "The Verge". I can't wait for the version called "Peeking Windows ME".

We're geniuses I tell you!

Gotta give it to Randy and the rest of the exec’s on running Directv and the rest of the company into the ground. Great job everyone!

Quarterly for 2018 4Q gets revealed tomorrow. Expect to see another bloodbath with Directv losing another 300 to 500 hundred thousand and Directv Now growth down to a measly 30 or 40 thousand. Gonna be hard to be Netflix 2.0 with results like what I suspect.
