AT&T Earnings Recap with Alan Breznick
•
AT&T lost video and broadband subscribers during its second quarter, but the telco still reported revenue and profit forecasts in line with Wall Street's expectations. Indeed, the carrier is making truckloads of money every quarter, but its ability to pinpoint where the culture is going is not as sharp as its competitors. In this quick, five-minute podcast, Light Reading's Alan Breznick talks about what AT&T announced and why it's not showing more growth in video and broadband, at a time when there is so much activity and interest in both areas. Our producer is on vacation this week, so we kept this recording really short and didn't do any fancy editing. We'll be back with another full-strength Light Reading podcast episode next week.
