Re: now I understand!

said by nasadude See Profile :

Verizon: laying fiber, future proofing their network, bringing blazing speeds to customers - earnings down because they are spending money on fiber

AT&T: slower investment, building the future network on the cheap, has to limit speeds because of lack of bandwidth - GREAT EARNINGS! investors happy!

Qwest: pretty much no investment in future networks, plodding along in the 90s - TRIPLE PROFIT! investors really happy!

So, to recap: build the network needed for the future, get slapped by investors; limit investment (or no investment), get rewarded.

No wonder the U.S. is 15th and falling.
The percentage changes in the last 2 yrs of the 3 companies stock prices appear to bear out your analysis:

Verizon(blue); AT&T(red); Qwest(green)

Verizon stock price up 10% last 2 yrs
AT&T up 62%
Qwest up 160%

Of course Qwest stock price initially was so low that a big percentage increase was much easier to do.

Enjoy it now the end is near. There is a reason at&t and Verizon didn't merge with Qwest and doesn't want to.
