| Companies profit expectations are out of hand.
Most companies seem to think if revenue doesn't grow by 20% a year they need drastic cost cutting measures!

Glen Carbon, IL | actually if you read the earnings statement you will see that wireline revenues’ dropped 27%. About 60% of the unions jobs are on the wireline side. so you tell me - if in your job your revenues’ are down 27% and that has being going on for like 4 qtrs straight now – does it make good business sense to give those employees raises? |

@bellsouth.net | Its an accounting slide,actually wired lines have leveled off and profits increased about 2%, at&t uses wires for uverse and does not count them as pots line, even though they actually were(are) pots copper.PROFIT 1st quarter 3.1 BILLION Unions and copper paid to build wireless and now wireless is paying to build uverse.The economy will never recover if greed takes away the tax paying middle class. |

Continued Growth in Revenues Per Household. Driven by increased U-verse and broadband penetration, wireline revenues per household were up 2.0 percent versus the year-earlier quarter. This marked AT&T's fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth in consumer wireline revenues per household. Total first-quarter wireline consumer revenues were $5.4 billion, compared with $5.8 billion in the year-earlier quarter, as declining voice revenues more than offset growth in video and broadband. They do a great job of masking wired lines in the report, now thats really masking the truth! |
