Re: current offering

Sadly AT&T is now locked-in to a "active fiber" network along with the active VRAD field nodes. They could've simply copied Verizon's passive optic network and saved a ton 'o money over the life of the system (as many here tried to tell them). But no, they saved a maybe 50% for now -- only to pay twice as much later to finish the job.

It wouldn't look so bad if Verizon hadn't already shown them way -- and thousands of others tried to tell 'em. AT&T has no excuse (hell the NSA probably would've paid half! ;0 )

Re: current offering

Active fiber is pretty good stuff. Who doesn't like 10GBase-T over fiber?

AGREED ... thats what happens when you got old guys who pinch pennies running a company do.

When you run a company the investors are either behind you or not. Either way you tell them you guys wanted me here so I am making the smart decisions. If you don't like it invest your money in Quest stock which is going no where.

If you want long term profits and lower operating costs and less truck rollouts = less money more profit then build a store so you can sell your product.

You cant buy a piece of land and make parking spaces without building a walmart people dont' want a flee market they want a store they want a quality product without the hassle.

If Att is going to offer TV don't pussy foot around buy it and build it. And show the Cable co's this is what competition really is. Give them a run for the money.

People look at the prices in walmart and say oh yes more for less money i like the idea of that.

why is walmart so popular? hmm no brainer.

But there is the other people who want specific items and they go to the specialty store. (bussiness class)

Other than that Im not going to Target to get the same exact product and pay more just so i can say i went to tar'zjay.

I just love the idiology. Your shoe wears out get it resouled even if you only save half price as opposed to buying a new pair. Dont they know the upper part of the shoe will wear out soon? NO BRAINER.
