Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Will AT&T try to acquire Nokia?

Could make sense. I don't particularly like the debt load of 5B that Nokia is carrying on there books.

Totally not. I have doubts that the DOJ would allow it since they would now be a vendor to every company that is their competitor. Hard to keep that separate.

Saw the article on Yahoo. Let Verizon buy them. I really doubt any telco would purchase a manufacturer like a few others have said - no one else will buy from them.

Of course Stinky might consider it just to have more people to fire.

GTF out of here. While Ratty and Stinky are m0rons except when it comes to enriching themselves, even they would rather buy another studio to ruin than Nokia.

Here is some history for you.

Lucent Technologies, Inc., was an American multinational telecommunications equipment company headquartered in Murray Hill, New Jersey, in the United States. It was established on September 30, 1996, through the divestiture of the former AT&T Technologies business unit of AT&T Corporation, which included Western Electric and Bell Labs.[1]

Lucent was merged with Alcatel SA of France on December 1, 2006, forming Alcatel-Lucent.[2] Alcatel-Lucent was absorbed by Nokia in January 2016.

No. Telcos don't buy from other telcos.

Also, NOK could only sell into T, which would be a major contraction of the total addressible market. And it would become impossible for T to play NOK against Ericsson.

In short, the premise is absurd.

No....so not going to add an OEM to the debt load. Especially Nokia.

Nokia is glad that someone who can't spell has such a strong opinion.

AT&T spun off Lucent's equipment business 20+ years ago. Why would you want to undo that, nevermind during it during these crazy economic conditions?
