You ever notice they are usually the LAST ones to get into a project every other company is already in ?
If everything eventually goes to a streaming app and channels go away, then I could see ATT getting rid all of their TV products and just go 5g and HBO/Max. I remembered an article that thought maybe even cable companies could just go all internet and that's it.
Well said. Steven's plan looks different than Stephenson's plan. Stephenson's plan was buy, buy, buy and Stephens plan is to sell, sell, sell.
I worked for an ISP in Charleston SC in the mid 90s called A World of Difference. We live-streamed Riverdogs baseball games over ISDN lines using Real Player (before it became adware). Most of our subscribers were on commercial internet connections (Frame-relay or better). The upstream from the game to the datacenter was only 128Kbps. It was obviously low quality video, but it was good enough to get businesses in the area interested in streaming.
Actually, Lumen (formerly CenturyLink/Level 3) has the largest tier 1 backbone by route miles in the US.
Are you sure your not thinking about ATT ?
They have been union .
A Good portion of the Installers / repair for D* before ATT took over were sub contractors.
Interesting, I worked at DIrecTV for 18yrs and we joked about ATT possibly brining in the CWA union as we never heard of any union connected with DTV. We had techs, engineers, building facilities workers, IT, office workers, you name it at our location and no union anywhere.
