Ever since they broke up the phone company and forced AT&T to compete it has consistently been one of the most badly managed companies in America. Why would anyone think they could do anything right now?

Kind of like what I grew up as knowing as Yugoslavia.

Today's AT&T is actually the old Southwestern Bell / SBC that's put almost all the RBOCs back together again. A well-managed company.

Ever since they broke up the phone company and forced AT&T to compete it has consistently been one of the most badly managed companies in America.

I've worked with phone companies large and small, including AT&T, all over the country (and in 16 other countries). Believe it or not, AT&T is one of the better ones.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's utterly amazing to me that the phone system works at all, given who is running it and how it is run......

I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's utterly amazing to me, with all I've seen in the telecom world, that the phone system works at all in this country, given who is running it and how it is run......
