I thought e911 does reverse?

A landline is permanent...has a record..much faster to trace for a location

What is the current number of residential land lines now vs 10 year ago? I wonder how many people cut the cord.

In the last 10 years ???? Lol
There was no Streaming 10 years ago ...

However, where ever possible, these =have been or are trying to be moved to fiber.

Still landlines because they still go to a pots switch...vs voip fiber

I didn't see anyone streaming in '97, even with T1's ...
T1's are very slow in todays age.

Sure, its fiber to the CEV and Copper to the home from there, unless your lucky enough now to be in a Fiber area.

Librarys and PORN were the first customers...more businesses....old frame relay and SMDS...maybe ATM...it was around

Did they scrap the Fiber then, just decided it wasn't for them ?
Thats would be like them ...
They are notorious for starting something and then dropping out of it half way thru.

So is ATT's plan is just go all 5g for mobile and home and that's it?

If they do, they will only go half way and then abandon it.

Then AT&T would just cease to exist if that happened?

Of course...thats how they do things....bell atlantic had a small fiber to the home project in 1994...did tv, internet and phone...they had VOD...someone sitting in the CO popping in video tapes when a customer requested a movie...they stopped..went to wireless 3g...stopped..went to fios..stopped..tried 4g wireless to the home and failed..now on 5g wireless....waiting for 6g

No..all internet traffic hits a verizon or att network backbone...same with all cell phones

So it sounds like ATT doesn't think all of its TV products and Home Phone aren't profitable, just 5g? This is why they want to sell them off and really streamline?

Att just wants to make shareholders happy

What would be the best plan ATT could do to make their shareholders happy?

Nah, just before that, they would jump into the next best thing they can think of.
