Where Will AT&T Be in 5 Years?
AT&T (NYSE: T), short for the American Telephone & Telegraph Company, has its roots in Alexander Graham Bell's invention of the telephone itself in 1876, and the subsequent founding of the Bell Telephone Company in 1880.
Yet the AT&T of today is innovating to be a leader in not only the future of communications, but also the future of media. Both businesses have been somewhat disrupted by the internet and wireless communications, but through both a slew of acquisitions and heavy capital expenditures on fiber and wireless technologies, AT&T is once again trying to reclaim the throne as a technological leader, not a relic of a bygone era.
Can the old Ma Bell do it? Here are all the moves AT&T is making, and what the company could look like five years out.
