They should go to the middle east to see if any of the extremely wealthy oil Sheiks would be interested! They might have lasting value just like RS said there was enough need for the technology in latin america for it get good ROI...Riiiiiiiight!

Anyone old enough to remember views this fiasco as TCI V.2. Knew it was fated to fail when they appointed a new head of MDU's for whole country based on his performance running call centers. Nice guy, but no real understanding of MDU's.
Forecast, ATT TV (really catchy name) will also fail. They will figure out a way.

Hello they siloed the whole operation into its own unit. To “improve customer service” lol if you’re part of that unit goodbye.

Randall and stank should give their compensation back. Anyone who can lose an estimated 29 billion in 5 years is beyond inept. A drunk would lose far less running the company than these two id–ts

Their next acquisition should be a big pile of money, then they should take it out to the parking lot and set it on fire. That'd be less of a loss than they're going to take on this deal.
