| AT&T - need an FTTH solution for tomarrows network the problem with waiting is that if your bet is wrong with all the quad plays, att stock can drown. Imagine this, imagine a 30% copper failure rate, imagine this in the midst of say a theoretical offering from the competative cable company saying "ok were offering all channels HDTV, even just 30mbps.
I compare AT&T and the cable company to a sports car with an ailing engine to a new sports car with a 300hp engine and the latter saying "don't worry mine purrr's just fine". AT&T, this may be fine now but when it all hits the fan and if your wrong for not building FTTH now and i'm almost sure you will be, there won't be any time to recover cause customers will be running to the competative cable company in droves.
I'd just like to say, im sure, at least for now that with all this copper working good you can manage to keep up with the technology but pair ailing copper, a sudden burst of technology for the competitor & new more speed demanding offerings to the formula and there won't be enough time to recover before your losing customres by the dozens. |
