It’s so pathetic, having to cut deals here, sell real estate there, lay-off employees everywhere and on and on because Rat Randall and Stinky couldn’t get their sh-t together and invest in 5G and Fiber on time. All that garbage about “vision 2020”... — read more
Another bites the dust
ATT announces the sale of Vrio so it can focus on Fiber and 5G. Standby faithful folks as this will unlock shareholder value. Hope the stock gets back to its highs of $29
