AT&T Burns Verizon with new Ad Campaign...

[gtikid]

This is not true. That article must have been written by a dork.

Your reasoning?

Your reasoning?

1 - I have been working in AT&T Mobility for the last 2 years (Alpharetta Data Center) as a Sr. UNIX Systems Engineer.

There are no network engineers emplyed by ANY major communications company that are REACTIVE instead of PROACTIVE outside of network incidents that happen. Projecting network growth and latency reduction is what they go to school for - they don't make 6 figures a year just to tell the director of operations that they are behind. They make these projections 3 - 5 years out and the infrastructure is usually that many years ahead.

The problem is NOT AT&T - when/if iPhone rolls over to Verizon you will see the chink in their armor as well. The simple fact is that there is more data being downloaded per handset than even APPLE knew - as well as AT&T. Any carrier who carries that handset is going to get fucked in the ass:

From a consumer standpoint - there are more things right w/ iPhone data availability than there is wrong. The problem is the major markets (New York, Chicago). EVERY carrier that provides iPhone service is being taken for a ride - it's a NIGHTMARE for all the iPhone world markets.


BOTTOM LINE: For the US market no mobile provider in the U.S is more capable to carry the iPhone than AT&T.

Congrats, I've been working for AT&T 3 going on 4 years. This isn't a battle of how long we've been with the company man.

And I wasn't really referring to the data capacity or the "hit" to the network that AT&T took with the Iphone. It sucks I don't have the article anymore to be able to pull the rest of the stuff mentioned in it. What really stood out to me from that article was just that haha. In other words, I don't really have an arguement

I'd like to take a look at that article. As a sidenote for every1. Tech writers are SOMETIMES being journalists - and SOMETIMES they are being paid to advertise... we have to be able to tell the difference. Car & Driver is famous for "advertising" GM shit vs just reporting on it from a neutral standpoint.

The article is somewhere around 6-7 months old, lemme see if I can get a name of the paper it was published in. The journalist wasn't biased, he was actually very good on reporting on all the companies. He bashed them all evenly haha
