Re: Where's Comcast Rick?
WHOA!! WAIT a second folks..Exactly how many landlines is this company losing anyway? Seeing they don't want to break it out for you, let's do it here.
Here's what they say.
"Continued Growth in Consumer Connections. AT&T regional consumer revenue connections (retail access lines, high speed Internet plus video connections) totaled 49.6 million at the end of the third quarter, up 895,000 or 1.8 percent over the past year, and regional consumer revenues grew 0.1 percent. Growth in connections reflects gains in high speed Internet and video over the past year totaling 2.7 million, which more than offset net declines in traditional retail consumer access lines."
Soooo..their NET year over year is up 895,000.
GAINS in other connections have been 2.7 Million offsetting that number.
Does this mean that year over year..they have lost
ONE POINT EIGHT MILLION LANDLINES?
OH yea folks. I think that's EXACTLY what that creative passage means in plain talking folk kind of speak.
Jeesh..I wonder if Uverse and those whopping 833 people joining them everyday last quarter will save them from that?
God. It's worse than I thought.

| thanks, wouldn't have been a thread w/o you. 
PS 60-70% of their revenues are now wireless and enterprise data, so your whole "land lines" and "Uverse" descriptions even if accurate, don't mean a whole lot to total revenues anymore... |

As demand subsides, investors will find AT&T and Verizon "are unmistakably losing share to cable," said Moffett, who rates AT&T shares "market perform" and doesn't own any.

That's just freaking awesome. Now the nations..or worlds largest phone company is no longer a phone company at all so no one has to worry anymore.
You just made my day!
And, of course you're acknowledging as well that my description is accurate..just like all the "rick" bashers above do with every post they make.
Of course their posts are never about the issues at hand..namely 1.8 million landlines fleeing the last year or the flop that is now totally apparent..called Uverse.
It's all about Rick instead.
Well..too bad that AT&T didn't heed my advice starting a year and half ago.
They'd be sitting right where verizon is instead...and would truly be a world class next generation provider.
And, to Cod and the others above..what you really should be doing instead of attempting to discredit me for simply being the voice of reason....is to bring whatever pressure you can to bear on your employer. And help to show them the way.
Because ...really..they're as lost as lost can be.
The phone company..losing almost 2 million landlines the last year. Good God..that's more than AOL lost dialup customers man.
And Uverse? OMFG.
What a disaster.
