Copper gets bad when it isn't maintaned...some copper cables are over 100 years old...they have to be cleaned up to maintain service

I think I read that Stephenson was the one that thought copper lines could handle HD video and that is why he created UVerseTV? I could be wrong on that. Also I had to get a WIFI repeater to get the WIFI down to the basement. I guess that is why they can't combine Home Internet with 5G internet?
I also remember reading that the reason they wanted AT&T TV was to get rid of the union jobs at the DTV plants? That it would be cheaper to maintain servers? I could be wrong on that also. If they wanted to get rid of the union jobs why keep the DTV distribution centers and the satellites?
It didn't sound that way ... I think they CLEARLY will be keeping the streaming portions ... IF they are lucky enough to dump the rest.
They will have a hard time selling off the TV division at a price that makes them money. Either they sell it at fire sale prices or they hold on to it and eat the mistake.
They only went after Time Warner to compete with Comcast buying NBC. I just didn't see how AT&T was setup to run an entertainment division considering they shutdown their own in house productions. They need to focus on being a network distribution provider and stop being an entertainment company.
They just like to provide value for their shareholders...directv is making a profit..just not enough

The problem was, they didn't allow the money or time to REPLACE what was going bad or already bad and they just wanted to try to keep fixing it ...
In my last year or so, we actually were able to get some areas replaced ... but thats just a bandade compared to the rest of the city as a whole.
Just watch...they are experts at squeezing cash out of lemons

Yup ... when I left, we were still fixing 1927 lead in a large area of the city.
Ther Companies view on it is that the Copper is Fine, and they wanted to prove it, so they opened up a piece of cable and YUP, it was in great shape (yes that same 1927 cable) ... the copper is always fine being that old, UNTIL it gets opened and then the air can get to it.
