Why AT&T Broadband Is So Cheap
from the management-screwed-up dept
A look at the mistakes AT&T made in moving into the cable world that now makes their cable business inexpensive enough for Comcast (and potentially others) to try to buy them out. By associating their cable operations with their phone operations, AT&T basically destroyed the cable operations - while others (like Comcast) focused on increasing margins in the cable business. Of course, that doesn't mean that a company like Comcast can solve the problems of AT&T Broadband, but they apparently would like to try.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
