When you’re at the bottom there’s no place to go but up. AT&T is the largest ISP in America.

And when a tech company fails to invest in innovation, there is no place to go but down. AT&T is a lousy investment because it fails to invest in itself. The only positive buzz they've gotten over the last year is their deal with Apple for the iPhone - and they even managed to screw that up with the lousy activation problems on their end.

I'm thinking about starting a grassroots movement to get Steve Jobs appointed to the AT&T board of directors - or better yet, make him the chairman. The company needs someone to repair the damage inflicted by former crook-in-charge Ed Whitacre, who ought to be sharing a prison cell with Bernard Ebbers.
