So, I just have to laugh at the stupidity of AT&T sometimes. A couple of years ago with their idiotic leaks regarding their proposed acquisition of T-Mobile (i.e. we'll just remove a competitor & milk it) and now their CEO sticks his foot in his mouth by publicly proclaiming the discussions around Net Neutrality are causing so much uncertainty that they will not be inclined to invest in fiber to the home. Not smart to do when you have a pending mega merger on the table.

Now the FCC is calling them out on their "concerns" & likely to make life miserable for a few people that have to scramble & respond to the FCC's inquiry.

Probably won't make much of a difference in the end. AT&T will do damage control but really, really stupid to make those types of statements (or incredibly bad timing if nothing else).
