Re: AT&T is deluding itself
It doesn't have to be 3000ft from the CO. They are running fiber to the node, which they will place in neighborhoods and run copper the rest of the way. That node will be like the CO, so it will be like they are closer to the CO. |

Not going to argue the numbers but the announcement had it set at 1.32 shares of T for a share of BLS. Figure it out from there.
"Exactly where is BLS and T putting VDSL2"
You unfamiliar with the colossal number of FTTC customers BLS currently has? |

T has to accept $21 billion in BLS debt. The original price was $77-78 billion plus the debt making it a near $100 billion merger.
It doesn't really matter: T shareholders will get the stick since it is a "cashless" merger.
If you figure the market value drop of T then BLS stock dropping too, one could argue a replay of Time Warner writing off AOL. In the end, T stockholders will pay dearly for the buyout unless they are willing to wait a few years providing T doesn't bungle it (or continue to lose 3 million POTS customers a quarter).
Exactly where is BLS and T putting VDSL2? 3000 ft from the CO which leaves out what 85% of customers??? |
