Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Spectrum position due to DTV and Warner Follies becoming apparent

TMobile and Verizon are way out in front with their road map in providing incremental value to the wireless customers versus ATT. Enhanced 5G Ultra and Mid Band Spectrum usage and window for upside for TMobile and Verizon is dwarfing that of ATT. Between them they have also added 8-9M Fixed Wireless Customers while ATT Product Air? flounders.

att is a dying company and could care less about keeping customers. other companies are laying fiber to rural areas and gaining customers.

I laugh when people talk about net adds. The vast majority of “Net” adds are a result of business customers having new line numbers added to existing data devices, then old numbers are deactivated 30-60 days later with a late disconnect bill credit so the customer doesn’t complain. Managers know it happens and ignore it. Doesn’t sound like a “Net” add now does it?

We don't need net adds. Just increase the fees and keep advertising the "low" price in huge font in all our ads. No one will question why their bill is twice the advertised amount. They'll just go along with it and keep paying us forever.

A lot people don’t understand the cellular radio network, aka…”wireless”. There are plenty of YouTube videos and internet articles, I encourage you to educate yourself.

From Wikipedia:

“A simple view of the cellular mobile-radio network consists of the following:”

“A network of radio base stations forming the base station subsystem.
The core circuit switched network for handling voice calls and text
A packet switched network for handling mobile data
The public switched telephone network to connect subscribers to the wider telephony network”

Wireline (fiber or copper) is connected to every cell tower (base station) then to the MSC (mobile switching center) and the CO (central office) for connection to PSTN (public switched telephone network) Wireline is a key component in establishing a mobile phone connection and other features.

Maybe so, but if Randall had actually pulled off what he rethought was possible, we'd be at the nexus of value added offerings, and more customers would be enjoying our thang.

Those companies are all wireless.

Seriously how can some of you be so stupid as to not comprehend that?

“ That’s ok, AT&T has the largest fiber network and is increasing wireless adds. Future looks positive.”

T is last in every category. So much debt , they can’t reinvest is infrastructure at 1/3 rd the rate V and TM are. Layoffs every 60 days, stock is in the tank, employee RTO is a disaster, morale at an all time low, but yes I guess the “ Future looks positive”…smh

ATT counts many Net Adds that TMobile and Verizon do not count. Hey we have all these nickel and dime customers and connections. Cost more to maintain than the revenue they bring in.
