Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Stankey - Big Beautiful Bill will save AT&T billions - good for workers.

https://www.lightreading.com/fttx/at-t-boss-plots-network-splurge-after-trump-saves-him-billions
"But for Stankey, addressing equity analysts on today's call about second-quarter results, it equals cash tax savings of $6.5 billion to $8 billion between 2025 and 2027.

" "This bill also creates a pipeline of midband spectrum that will help meet soaring consumer demand and keep the US technologically competitive with other countries," Stankey said on this week's call, describing the legislation as "great policy for American workers." "

StarLink will win. Rural areas, neglected and overcharged for decades via second and third resellers will gladly cut the chord for solar powered if needed satellite direct data links unaffected by storms taking out local towers.

T-Mobil’s already testing phone direct to StarLink creating the very first true world wide coverage with zero dead spots; no towers required.

So while AT&T management chases ‘tax incentives’ T-Mobil is changing the game!

5G WiFi changed the game! It’s still changing the game.

Japan just introduced 100G WiFi and ai is just getting started.

Why build more copper technology?

Which courts are refusing to let AT&T discard.

Short term solution for long term problem while T-Mobil just explodes across all spectrums and creating the future.

Satellite direct with unlimited bandwidth and 10G speeds! Sounds like the future to me.

They made horrible unimaginable mistakes costly with DTV and TW. Put all their eggs in basket thinking it was in the bag for TMobile. Now all thet focus is on tactics to get rid of employees via RTO and outsourcing to India, Eastern Europe and Mexico while badging them as ATT employees. Randal might have been CEO during those deals but Stankey was in the the thick of things. The board needs to wake up and fire him and all of his direct reports. They are incompetent for not pushing back. Why Bring on Legg from a company that had issues Time Warner. He’s incompetent and pushing strategic areas like CSO responsibility to India. Outages and breaches have happened under his watch yet he’s still here. !! wake up folks.

All these savings maybe they will raise the dividend for us shareowners. Return some more profit to us. LOL...pretty sure none of it will make it's way to employee's.

Stephenson promised 7k hard hat jobs last time around when they got a tax windfall, don’t believe their lying lips. They are saying some will go to capex, 5% pension fund, some for debt and the rest probably for stock buy backs to enrich the elite. Too bad there aren’t strings attached to direct some of the tax reductions because when elite are left to their own decisions, they always enrich themselves and their stockholder friends.

As if any savings are going to make it down to the rank and file. You should embark on a stand up comedy tour, with material like this.
