Minneapolis, MN | LOL at the simplemindedness I always find it hilarious (in a frustrating kind of way) that for any present or future issue, everyone assumes that simply throwing money at it will instantly solve the problem.
Be it new cell towers, trunks, etc- it takes money AND time. There is no telcom vending machine in which you insert $200 million dollars and out drops more broadband capacity. |

| Yeah, but you would think AT&T would start improving their data service since Apple is planning to sell the iPhone to other U.S. carriers. It would be logical for them to start actually giving a damn about their performance. But, then again, this is the U.S., where every corporation will take advantage of everyone. |

And I find it hilarious that so many assume doing nothing to increase the capacity of the network will address future bandwidth needs.
Be it backhaul, fiber, and such. There is no telcom out there that wont go to that vending machine to take an extra $200 million in profit instead of improving their networks as much as they should to keep the network growing.
Sure it takes time and money, but you have to invest both of those things for the future and you have to do it at a pace that keeps up with demand, if not surpasses it. |

Check their 3rd quarter results- $4.2 billion in capital expenditures this quarter and over $11 billion year to date. It's fair to assume that a signficant amount of that went to wireless expansion and upgrades. |

If this crowd of experts were in upper management would it be the most successful company in the world or bankrupt 12 months from now? |

So really the vending machine will gladly take the money, it'll just take a few months for broadband to pop out.
Oh, and in that time, your customers will have simply gone to the cafe across the street and had themselves a latte. A surprisingly apt metaphor for what will happen if AT&T keeps it up.
