Wednesday, 11 August 2010 09:18

The numbers are clear. AT&T actually went negative. They are getting killed by cable were they haven't done their DSL upgrades (U-Verse), The 1/3rd cut in U-Verse spending in January, 2009 by now leaves them 3M homes behind their earlier plans. Cable did somewhat better, but was significantly down. The numbers are from Leichtman and do not include the smaller carriers.
