Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Michigan man setup fiber broadband for his rural neighbors, kicked Stanky in the a**

Look up Jared Mauch Michigan, he was fed up with lack of boardband and created his own fiber service for his community. He invested his own money and charged his neighbors a simple rate, no junk fees. With federal funding, his network is expanding to cover more areas.

Comcast wanted $50K to install cable line to his house, AT&T offers just 1.5Mbps internet. Stanky lamented about small communities don't have the expertise to build and provide broadband service, tell him to STFU. No doubt highly paid lobbyists are working hard to stop community based projects. We have so much potential to reach underserved communities, these are the people who will be customers for life. Meanwhile, billions are burned on media pipe dream. How's Stanky not fired? Un-TF'ing believable!!

T received billions in CAF 1&2 phases. More fleecing of the tax dollars as it certainly wasn’t regulated well!! Thus, why we have dedicated non-utilized CAF ports in the middle of large cities where 100M service is the norm….SMH

I bet he is using zero unionized labor and that’s how he builds it more economically.

AT&T got a lot of government money to build out the fiber network. What AT&T did was the MDU project (multi dwelling unit) to satisfy the governments requirement to connect so many addresses with fiber. AT&T connected so, so many low income apartment housing projects with fiber with the knowledge that they would never actually be required to serve those addresses and those customers would never be able to pay for any kind of broadband. Genius and slimy, as always. That's AT&T.

Then why didn’t T get that $2.6M to do the same work or at least half? Did T even try that?

He also got like $2.6 million from the Federal Govt to do it. So ultimately, all of us taxpayers paid for it.

Yeah well at least we can point to one positive tangible thing that got done with the trillions they've pi---d away over the past few years. Wonder where the rest went.

Sound so easy. Why does AT&T need so many workers?
