SBC = ATT!
SBC Communications to become AT&T
This is very interesting development. I first heard these rumblings at VON, and thought it odd then. Now that it has happened officially, I still think it odd. It makes sense because the LEC business of SBC is dying and losing subscribers left and right. Wireless and VoIP technologies are making that happen. The broadband fight between the MSOs and DSL carriers is nasty. The thing that can help SBC is a solid offering to Enterprise markets, and ATT already has that. ATT/SBC will attempt to stop the bleeding in residential VoIP subscriber base by offering ATT's CallAdvantage to it's DSL subscribers. ATT/SBC will also bring to the table a FMC play to thwart, and ultimately reserve the loss of subscribers to the MNOs.
SBC is getting beat up by VoIP providers and wireless providers. In ATT they get the arsenal required to fight, and ultimately win those batttles. This new ATT has a lot of potential....as long as they don't screw it up. Odds of that = 50/50 at best.
