Mirroring a decision made by rival Verizon Communications, AT&T has decided to stop expanding its fiber to the neighborhood program (U-Verse). After reaching 30 million homes, CEO Randall Stephenson of AT&T made the announcement during an investor’s conference call earlier this week.
Both Verizon and AT&T have indicated that growth is declining in wireline services and that current growth is in the wireless services.
