Good! Americans pay for better, than what at&t can deliver

Compare the prices Americans pay for wireless services (from at&t, and others)
with what any other developed, industrialized nation, pays. Why the vast gap between the two??
Is service in America, really that much more costly to provide?
Is at&t just subsidising handsets, by passing costs onto other customers?

I think the 'new at&t' is absolutely MORE evil, than the AT&T that was torn apart, in 1984!
They DO NOT give one iota of care about customers, or employees!
I've been both and it shows... by how you're treated. Expectations of a 55 hour work week, as part of some "unwritten rule" ... demanding that you donate to United Way ... "or else" because at&t wanted 100% of the employees to donate.

Does at&t really stifle innovation now? ...not really ... but most of the folks at at&t labs these days, are talentless arse clowns!
The middle managers that run most of the day to day operations, are also arse clowns who don't know what they hell they're doing!

remember conficker? Yeah... at&t happily blocked 100,000 domains on the internet, in the name of protecting customers. How quickly, would the 'new at&t' block some service, feature, or specific websites, in the future??
It's dangerous! and 'we're' protecting you ... ugh huh. So YOU say ...

if the AT&T broken up in 1984 was "Ma Bell" ... this 'new at&t' must be inbred uncle, twice removed bell. Not only am I happy to see at&t die, I'd gladly put it's feet in concrete, and throw it, into Charleston Harbor! It can sit at the bottom, with Oliver Cromwell's floatilla.

the 'new at&t' could have done some super things. Had they used the army of lobbyists for good rather than the usual evil. Tisk! Tisk! Tisk!

How funny would it be today, if AT&T, hadn't sold off NCR (national cash register) in 1991? Instead of the 'new at&t' the company would be cr&p (cash registers & phones).

You know... at&t customers, could bring at&t to it's knees... It's not hard.
Just coordinate a massive phone call, to take place at a coordinated time, and ring into a specific number, or series of numbers. The network can't handle 60 million calls, at once!
Add to that, large file downloads, and U-Verse activity... the network will crumble, like the house of cards it is.

I say, let it die! A curse is upon at&t!

Totally agreed. Ever since Stephenson stepped in, they not only don't care about the customer - they don't even care about their own employees anymore. This is another GM just waiting to happen.

LMAO!!! Amen. I never donated a single cent to United Way just on principal. And no kidding about the 55 hour work week. I've done that (and more) for years and never got paid a single cent of overtime.

There are a few decent ones- but 99% of them really are clueless. Not like they have the power to change anything anyway.

I don't think AT&T will "die", as their wireless division is pretty healthy - but the rest of the company and especially anything to do with landlines will die a slow, painful death over years to come.
