I cancelled DirecTV a few weeks ago because we moved out to California, and just today moved from ATT to Verizon because of poor cell reception at our new abode.
That's all I have to offer in this conversation. |

Isn't AT&T bigger now than they were when the government broke up "Ma Bell" back in the 1980's?

I thought it wasn't allowed to have too much of any market.

Yes, it became expensive to trench and they had lots of technical difficulties with the 'last mile" old copper pipes. Google Fiber is scaling back as well and looking for a last mile wireless solution because of the expense of trenching cable and all the red tape they have had to cut thru.

Ruling comes out today. Comcast waiting in the water to go after Fox if this deal goes through.

None of these mergers are good for us. It limits competition, innovation and choices. That ALWAYS ends badly for consumers. The average consumer get less choice and higher prices.
If the ATT monopoly would have been allowed to stay in place, the cellular and smartphone era would have been delayed for who knows how long.

If it goes through, one of the first things AT&T will do is lay off a bunch of Time Warner employees. Those bastards hate employees almost as much as they hate their customers.

1. Pots/Dsl customers. At&t hates them and wish they would just go away. At&t tries their best to give these customers crappy service. 2. USA outside plant employees. At&t would move every job overseas if they could. Obviously they cant with these positions and it pains them that they have to employ these positions to operate. 3. Rest of employees left in USA that havent been eliminated or moved overseas. |

Well if it doesn’t go through, AT&T will have to lay off their own employees. Lose/lose situation.

Honestly cable TV will soon be a thing of the past. When 5g comes out it will change everything.

And 5g isn’t going to have data caps?
I’m guessing land lines will still be a thing. |
