Just add the whole Xander debacle to the list of bafflingly uninformed T business decisions over the last 10 years, right along with the T-Mobile merger, acquiring Directv, launching Directv Now, Digital Life, launching AT&T TV, acquiring Warner, launching HBO Max, etc ...
In a sane world, anyone with such a string of colossal blunders and boneheaded moves would be living in a tent under a freeway overpass, panhandling for a few pennies. But this is America in the 21st century where that simply doesn't happen to CEOs and other self-proclaimed titans of industry. In our society no matter how badly a CEO messes up the absolute worst that would happen is they be quietly removed and given a lifetime pension worth several million dollars per year.
The punchline is that T's recent adventure into the entertainment world has put them in a very distant third place in terms of mobility and internet service. Both Verizon and T-Mob have expanded their 5G bandwidth and are even starting to offer 5G home internet service, at a fraction of the cost of T's barely-available fiber.
The immediate future is not good for T, having to play catch-up on what is their core business. It looks even worse when one considers that Stinky & company are still running things.
