in the New York Times article AT&T refuses to give up on a Dish/ DirecTV merger, they argued, that a merger would save the two companies an estimated $1.5 billion a year “and perhaps even more” by allowing them to push for better rates from programmers, among other cost reductions.
LOL,
Just like DirecTV did?
No thanks, I PASS....
Mark my words, this will be the next thing Stank and the rest of the clowns muck up. How pitiful has this place become?
So how's that Vision 2020 thingy coming along Stanks? You guys sure are knockin' it out of the ball park! Crushing it even! LOL.
DTV was losing subs , RS/JS and others went full force ahead and MASSIVELY OVERPAID. Icing on the cake :Now it appears JS wants a cover up or do over. Analysts questioned them constantly and they were brushed off like lint . Debt maneuver and possible spectrum play . Desperation
Say "how low can you go?" The stock price will continue to fall. T has nobody fooled. As of Friday 10-16-2020 T was down to $27.33 yet the DJIA was up 112.11 and S&P 500 was up slightly. Wall Street knows a rat when they see one. This company will fall somewhere between GE and Enron. The old saying "don't Enron my AT&T" seems appropriate now.
Yess,They vould save a bundle:
timeline:
After merger approved:
1- create new DIRECTDISH- MAX Portal= 2 year, and start the stock buyback program
2-create bundles no one wants to buy witn 5 year contracts.
3- talk about the 20 year plan to investor, talk a lot about the dividend
4-invest billions Acquiring business partners when failure looms
5- Layoffs start
6-without ANY EMPLOYEES.
pocket the savings distributing them equally in executive bonuses....
7- Claim sucess lots of P
8- once the plan fails, pretend the business aquisition was not relevant to AT&T
8- Move on to the next target aquisition, and take no responsability for failures.
9-rounds of executive PR Touting the vision and their 30 year plan to instititional investors
10- DO ALL OVER
