Bob, where are you hearing that AT&T's going to go to FTTP vs. FTTN?

This is what happens when you start to reach a saturation point. There are many areas of the country that all ready have over a 50% satellite penetration and some as high as 60%.
We are reaching a point when where all there will be is promo hoppers. Not too many new customers left to be had.

Its being discussed right now at ATT headquarters, As is the future of uverse as a whole. Nothing publicly right now but in all new subdivisions, ATT is already doing FTTP. That's not new. Its just a matter of time. Give it another few months before something officially is publicly announced but, all signs both internal and what att is doing now points to them going that route.

They've done FTTP for a few years now, but currently it does nothing extra for those homes, everyone gets the same level of service, fiber or copper. Will it happen at some point in time, probably but in this economy IMHO AT&T, which has taken the cheap road wherever possible, isn't going to change direction in the near future. Guess will have to see which one is right.

Promo-hopping is difficult sport at best where a 24 month commitment is involved. Many modern marriages don't last that long.
DIRECTV continues to be surprised by the number of new subscribers but obviously as surprised as they are about that, those leaving are doing so in similarly large numbers as you suggest.
