said by fiberguy:AT&T did NOT have a good name with people.. in the real world it wasn't well liked. It only had one thing going; it had name recognition. As a company, AT&T was was not consumer friendly.. they violated law after law... and they didn't do much innovating for years. They purchased a good cable conglomerate and gutted and fillet it and left those customers to rot.
I'm sorry to disagree with you but AT&T was a horrible company.. even outside BBR. (And I don't agree with BBR very often)
AT&T was so brilliant they invented the transistor and sold it to the Japanese for $50,000. The breakup of AT&T was a great thing. Before, you rented a POS phone. Now, you can buy your own.
