Times Up, Told You So, DirecTV is Dead

AT&T is reportedly trying to sell DirecTV to private-equity investors just five years after buying the satellite provider. The negotiations with potential buyers come after millions of customers ditched DirecTV over the past two years, and could value DirecTV at much less than the $49 billion AT&T paid for it.

    I wonder how they plan to pay all the line-up stations?

    You can get internet via satellite. Yet one more dish atop a RV or house.
  • Old men and women at AT&T made the decision to buy DirectTV. If they would have just asked or watched their kids and grandkids “watch” their tablets and phones...no cords, no cable, no satellites. I’m an AT&T stockholder and very unhappy with the whole DirectTV debacle.
  • AT&T is losing billions of dollars from what they paid for it, I wonder how many millions they have lost just operating it over the past 5 years..

    7 million subscribers lost since mid-2018

    Inertnet is the only way to go..

    Sorry about that..
