While I don’t want to get into the debate about the readiness of T to be a significant player on the streaming market and the media market in general (God knows a lot has been said about that, I think that AT&T is , at this point, too much diversified as a company. While the leadership gathered the courage to put all the best on the TW acquisition they are too scared to move out of the markets that were once the essence of the company profit. In any case I can’t see that to be the formula for any sort of success.

Please evolve-access line are fiber or copper ...pots is going away but the more expensive internet is replacing the lost revenue....Randell said it himself..."We are not abandoning the hard wire network due to the immense cash flow it generates"
"The percentage of revenues the old landline service provides is getting smaller and smaller unless you want to count fiber connections in our wireless system, etc as a landline that generates revenues. Copper voice revenues are declining like those access line numbers."
You have to be senior management because now you are using double speak.
"Won't sell off the landlines-whether copper or fiber....the network generates huge amount of cash flows which easily services debt, investments, expenses and our incredible dividend."
So what is it profitable or not. If they don't want it around and are going to let it die on the vine or don't want then they do the right thing and man up and get rid of it. Otherwise they just shut up about how the business is bad.

Then why does senior management always are putting it down and say it has no future and wireless always seems to be the direction of the company. They sure are cutting costs for it being such a money maker.

Yeah I wish they would sell the landline/fiber business. Sell it to a company who actually cares about customer service and isn't constantly being cut to support the next big buy out.
They probably won't sell it because then people would flock to it once they know T doesn't own it any more.
