AT&T wants the technology and the birds in low orbit. They could give a shite about the fickled subscribers.
They're laughing at this. They win either way.
Don't think for a moment that AT&T didn't time their move strategically to take advantage of all if this. It is brilliant.
Fewer subscribers they pay less per share.
DirecTV pays ESPN, re-ups Sunday Ticket and adds SECN .... and AT&T still wins because their original offer drops due to the added outlays deducted from existing subscription rates.
DirecTV takes a beating either way unless they agree to massive layoffs to bring their P&L back inline.
