Retired AT&T here: 5 years ago, when AT&T started laying off techs and outsourcing and proclaiming what were tech jobs as management jobs, I said they were posturing to sell off. Having said that AT&T has the infrastructure to help any of the Bells to expand their services. I don't know if they can grow fast enough to beat out the growing interest in VOIP in broadband though. The corporate greed at AT&T did them in, they never let their idea of bundling get off the ground and the paid way over market for cable networks then jumped ship before the change could work. Quick money was the name of the game, hopefully SBC can use the network for quality and loyal service, something AT&T forgot.
