How a Simple Press Release Reveals AT&T’s Anti-Competition Hypocrisy
Hours after Google announced Google Fiber in Austin — the second city in which Google Fiber will be rolled out — AT&T pretended it, too, will build a 1-gigabit network there.
No one actually believes this is true. What we’re seeing is a bit of gamesmanship.
But I think AT&T’s press release reveals much more between the lines: It’s complaining about the deal terms by which Google got the rights of way in Austin. And, it’s confirming the very message it’s been trying to deny for years: that only when there’s real competition will AT&T invest in making a better service.
