Leggy spin was growth in markets we aren't in. Of course that's coming from someone who lies about just about everything. As for growth, that will happen about as fast as the stank will grow any hair

"That’s what the Brand team worked on “for a long time” to name the new subsidiary company."

Do you know how many decks and meetings there were around this name? Can only imagine the waste of time some poor souls were put through only to land on this first grade attempt. LMAO

NetworkCo”

That’s what the Brand team worked on “for a long time” to name the new subsidiary company.

You have got to be flipping kidding me.

“ Details also here.”
Good find…If I understand it correctly they capture a 40% share of wireless when fiber is introduced. Believe that is an organic build number. Seeing more of these agreements. Any idea of what the percentage is through the acquisitions?

“ So AT&T is buying 1M customers for $5,750.00 per customer, and the opportunity at another 4M customers.”.

Question number one is how many of the 4 million wii they be able to sign up for fiber? Question number two is how many wireless customers will they get through a bundling package.

So no ROI for at least 5 years is what you’re saying…

per Stank the acquisition is said to 'create more jobs for Americans' — but when leadership lies so easily to both the government and its current employees, how much value is there in such leadership with zero credibility

“ Wonder how this will be paid for ?”

Well, it’s not coming from the C-Suite pockets.
How does T normally cut expenses- you guessed it employee surpluses!

Need all employees in the office so they won’t waste the new fiber capacity working from home.
