What has AT&T ever done warrant not thinking that way?
Is it too much to expect that one of the largest companies in the country get something right? The service was publicly announced nearly a year ago, and has probably been in the works behind the scenes for much longer. Much smaller companies have done more with less.
They are a terrible company all around. Their cellular network blows, they had to stop selling the iPhone 3G for a period of time after it came out in NYC because their network couldn’t support it, they played marketing tricks with HSPA+ and LTE-A (aka '5Ge'), U-Verse seems like a total joke on both the TV and internet front, they destroyed DirecTV, they have umpteen different streaming video services that make it extremely confusing and the vertical integration with Time Warner Inc should have never been allowed. Based on past history, AT&T deserves zero benefit of the doubt and they are a dangerously large company that should be broken up…again…
The best thing about AT&T is they can be credited with turning T-Mobile around. That $4 billion dollars was a nice jump start for the Uncarrier.
