Cons
AT&T is hampered by old land line technologies, and a tortoise approach to new technologies. This is allowing major competitors like Verizon to get a jump on AT&T. The "slow and steady" approach should show that the final product is solid, but many times it isn't. AT&T also has an identity crisis. They have such a large base in wireline, but they want to be a wireless company. Many of the old wireline folks are wasted space in this company, and they all know their legacy SBC, legacy Bell South, or legacy AT&T products very well, but can't go farther than that. This leads to much overlap and unnecessary overhead.
