Should telcos just be packet pushers? The evidence is mounting
- Wednesday | 19th May, 2021
AT&T and Verizon’s failure to differentiate themselves through media consumption is a stark warning to all telco operators that they need to do something very special in order to avoid being packet pushers. First, it was Verizon that decided that it was unable to make a go of its 3rd rate media assets and sold them to Apollo which somehow thinks that it can do better. AT&T’s media assets will be combined with Discovery to create a separate entity of which the vast majority of the shares will be distributed to existing AT&T shareholders. In effect, they are becoming commodity packet pushers and all other telcos should look at these events to decide what strategy suits them best. First, packet pusher: Here, the telco focuses on being the fastest, most reliable, and cheapest provider of connectivity.
