I’m sure AT&T care about that due to their humanitarian nature.

AT&T is not humanitarian non-profit company. It should worry about increasing its profits by providing people with good product so that people choose them over competition.

That hasn’t seemed to be their overall strategy considering how shitty their service is.

With a +/-0.1% margin of error, the difference between $60M and $70B is $70B.

Do you think their profits will be dented by a $60 million loss?
